Amendment 5 pulled...

Amendment 5 has been removed from the ballot by U.S. Circuit Court Judge John C. Cooper from Leon County. Judge Cooper wrote in his opinion, “The court finds that the ballot title and summary provided in the proposition for Amendment 5 fail to fairly inform the voter, in a clear and unambiguous language, of the chief purposes of the amendment and the language of the title and summary, as written, is misleading in the foregoing respects".

for your readers I think it is very important to know that the Judges decision has been appealed and this issue will ultimately be resolved by the Florida Supreme Court. neither side, pro or con will allow any decision by a lower court to stand without trying to have the Supreme Court over turn it.
