Florida Governor sued over refusing high-speed rail

[Riot]

If we could just go back to the 1950's .... oh, heck, the 1850's .... like the Republicans seem to desire, all would be okay!

Today I read where the original settlers - yes, the pilgrims - collected money (taxes) and declared public schools for everyone a necessity for the good of the colony. COMMUNIST LIBERALS!

LMAO!!! Did the Indians help build them?

The Puritan settlers not the pilgrims built the first public school in America 15 years after the Mayflower. In addition to building the first school these communist liberals as you call them, had a strange obsession with hunting Quakers. They also banned Quakers from their colony and presumably from the school. They also saw no problem with mixing theocracy and democracy much like most of the muslim world. They hung woman in the public square and unlike the muslim world that led to their extinction. America was great even back then.

Wow. I'm surprised, because of previous rulings the FSC has made in state vs legislature there. Very interesting! That will definitely have some ramifications on other things in the future.

Edit: okay, courts reasoning is different that what I thought, due to new information about the appropriations. They simply upheld his normal right to veto appropriations made during his tenure, as he is constitutionally allowed.

During oral arguments at the Florida Supreme Court on Thursday, justices seized on the fact that the Legislature had not appropriated the entire $2.4 billion.

That means that lawmakers would need to vote to spend the remaining money, which would require the governor's approval.

Scott's attorney, Charles Trippe, said the governor would veto any further appropriations.
