Florida GOP: Tammany Hall South

Were plenty steamed over being slapped around by the state Supreme Court 
for attempting to cook the electoral books.

How dare the Florida Supreme Court! 
How dare these justices do their jobs! 
Oh, the oppression of it all!
Just how far out of touch with reality are they?

"We are under direction by a court that continues over and over again to exceed their constitutional authority."

That onerous provision guaranteeing the public ought to have access to open government, violated his right to speak freely to his legislative colleagues?

Florida GOP Complain Their Rights Are Being Violated

 To ilegally 
gerrymandered districts.

Echoing the theme of a lawsuit filed last week in federal court by two Pensacola Republican Party officials, several lawmakers used their opening day speeches to accuse the court of violating the legislature’s First Amendment rights by requiring it to justify its map-drawing decisions in an open and transparent way. here

Democrat Amanda Murphy Wins

What makes Murphy’s win impressive is Gunter had support of the state GOP, including a full-throated voter drive by state heavyweights Attorney General Pam Bondi, House Speaker Will Weatherford and Rep. Richard Corcoran. Gunter had a solid fundraising session, with a total of $165,440, including $211,423 of “in-kind” contributions, with state party and House leadership funds. Towards the end, the race against Murphy became negative, especially when two groups – Florida Jobs First and Citizens for Fairness — paid for pro-Gunter negative attack ads that may have helped Murphy more than hurt. One round of television spots attacking Murphy came from Florida Jobs First, a PAC started by Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross, which spent $75,000 in the last weeks of the campaign. The republican stench will linger. Congratulations Ms. Murphy!
