Some Democrats see 'political games' in Florida Supreme Court delay

The political world is anxiously awaiting decisions on whether two constitutional amendments will appear on ballots this Fall. But with an April 1 deadline looming, the Florida Supreme Court released no news Thursday.

Rulings were anticipated regarding abortion rights and marijuana decriminalization. Now, some Democrats are questioning whether the court has pushed the issue into a holiday weekend intentionally.

“In a completely unprecedented move, the Florida Supreme Court is sitting on a decision that will impact the lives of women in Florida, all to play political games,” said Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Debbie Mucarsel-Powell.

“Their deadline to decide if abortion is on the ballot is Monday. Floridians support access to reproductive care. They know we will vote to codify abortion rights. They are delaying because they KNOW they’re on the wrong side of history, and Floridians are going to vote like hell for our rights.”
