Florida Department of State v. Florida State Conference of NAACP Branches — Canady, J., Dissenting

Summary

Justice Canady, dissenting, argues that Amendment 7’s plain language does not nullify the constitutional contiguity requirement and therefore the majority’s removal of the amendment from the ballot is unsupported. The dissent emphasizes the ordinary meaning of “implement” and the determinacy of the contiguity standard, and warns that the majority’s interpretation conflicts with established rules of constitutional construction.
