Foley follow-up

Florida Judge Janet Ferris (anyone, anyone) ruled today that Mark Foley's replacement, Joe Negron, cannot place signs at polling places letting voters know that due to a technicality a vote for Foley is really a vote for Negron.

Two things.

One, as I've said before, I think this is a bad decision. I understand that it's probably electioneering in the techinical sense, but voter's have a right to know what's going on (heyyyyy-ayyyy-ayyyy).

Two, before neoGOP's get all upity, read Judge Ferris' reasoning.

"The problem with posting or delivering such notices at polling places, which would speak only to the District 16 Congressional race, is that the legislature did not authorize them,"

This is exactly what the neoGOP's want. A judiciary subserviant to the Legislature. No activist judge she. This is what happens when one assumes that the Legislature can write laws covering all scenarios. The people lose.
