Florida almost completely destroyed its tourist industry!

Quote: Well, damn. There ya go! No, visionrazer's still wrong. That's the problem when you get legal advice from a shrieking douchenozzle who reads statutes literally and doesn't have a legal background.

If statutes aren't intended to be read literally, what the fuck is the purpose of writing them in the first place?

(He very conveniently overlooked Article 24, Section 1 and six decades of legal interpretation.)

No, I didn't overlook Section 1.

Nothing in that preempts the following section, with which Florida was, in fact, in compliance.

And if the six decades of interpretation excluded the "may however require" language of Section 2, then those interpretations are open to debate. It doesn't take a law degree to understand plain language -- though it might take a law degree to get away with blatantly disregarding it.
