Florida Politics reports:
The Florida Supreme Court must make a consequential decision between now and Monday, April 1, on whether to allow two significant ballot initiatives on the November 2024 ballot. Attorney General Ashley Moody asked the court to block the marijuana amendment from the ballot, but the scope of questions during the Supreme Court hearing suggested that several Justices were skeptical of her reasoning.
The other proposed amendment the court must review is an abortion rights measure that would block the state from prohibiting abortion up to the point of viability, which is usually around 24 weeks of pregnancy. Moody has also asked the court to block this measure as well. Once again, there appeared to be pushback from some of the Justices when they held oral arguments in early February.
Read the full article. The court issued no rulings today and some believe they will come late tomorrow. Five of the seven justices were appointed by DeSantis.
No fooling: April 1 is deadline for Florida Supreme Court decisions on marijuana, abortion amendments

“Most initiative campaigns never make it this far. The ones that do usually spend far more or take much longer to qualify, which is why we’re so confident that voters will approve our amendment once they’re given a chance to vote.” https://t.co/EXTT4vwRcJ

We need to repeat this over and over again — whenever abortion rights are on the ballot, reproductive freedom wins. Democrats win!
As soon as tomorrow — Florida’s Supreme Court will rule on whether the state’s abortion-rights referendum will go on the November ballot.
