Kill the constitution? A rewrite is Florida's latest nutty idea - Commentary [View all]
Kill the constitution? A rewrite is Florida’s latest nutty idea | CommentaryFlorida politicians hatch so many harebrained ideas that it’s sometimes hard to keep track. Seriously, this state cultivates quackery the way Idaho does potatoes.
So you may have missed the latest head-shaker to come out of the Florida Legislature — a proposal to do away with Florida’s current constitution.
No, I’m not kidding. If I were kidding, I’d say: I’m so bad at math that if I got 50 cents for every math test I failed, I’d have $1.63 by now.
This, my friends, is serious. State Rep. Spencer Roach — the same GOP House member who helped hatch the government plan to take over Disney World — recently said he was launching a crusade to scrap the current state constitution and replace it with a new one.
Because who needs things like due process and freedom of speech? Clunky and outdated ideals like that can get in the way of an authoritarian agenda.
Roach took to Twitter last month to declare: “We need a complete rewrite of the Florida Constitution.” He then hit the road to make his case.
