Judicial activism is alive and flourishing on the Florida Supreme Court, and the victim of this activism is the Second Amendment and our fundamental right of self-defense.
On Thursday, July 9, 2015, liberals on the Florida Supreme Court issued an opinion in a self-defense case that clearly has a chilling effect on the constitutional right of self-defense and the immunity from prosecution for exercising self-defense provided by the Legislature in the “Castle Doctrine/Stand Your Ground” law.
The presumption of innocence until proven guilty has been turned on its head. Rather than follow the intent of the Legislature, the Court chose to rewrite the law to achieve its own policy goals. |

If this goes to federal court and reaches the SCOTUS, it will be reversed.
The Constitution guarantees due process of law that places the burden of proof on the government AT EVERY STEP. |

TO REMEMBER |
| A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise, and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be the constant companion of your walks. — Thomas Jefferson, Encyclopedia of T. Jefferson, 318, Foley, Ed., reissued 1967. |
