Question the first: can the Florida Supreme Court overturn the ‘Felons can now vote’ nonsense, by saying it goes against the USConstitution?

Where does the constitution Prohibit felons from voting?

It used to do, in the 14th Amendment. It specifically delegates the states the right to determine the qualifications of voters and to disqualify anyone who participated in rebellion or other crime.

I know firsthand because, in the 60s, my brother lost his right to vote due to a drug offense (which is now a misdemeanor, in states where dope still isn’t legal). He had to petition to have his record expunged and ask for his right to vote be given back. How far this country has fallen and we didn’t even notice. I would like to point out that states who have decided that dope is no big deal have exponentially more traffic accidents than before dope was made legal. And, just because I’m on a rant, I will tell you that addiction to dope ( and yes, it IS an addiction) takes away all ambition. I watched as two brothers chose dope over working hard to make something of themselves. I’m sure the Leftist politicians are quite happy with the states who have legalized recreational marijuana.....a doped up public is a compliant public:
