The Ledger: The amendment probably should have been removed for the same reason as the others. It is misleading and far from neutral in its labeling. It doesn't matter to advocates of this amendment that Florida law already prohibits same-sex marriage. They say some court might someday invalidate the statute. Given the makeup of Florida's appellate courts, that seems beyond unlikely. It's not hard to see political motivations in this amendment. Sponsors fell a little short of getting the required petition signatures two years ago, thus putting the issue on a presidential election ballot in a key swing state. This is in line with national Republican strategies that encourage conservative voters to turn out because of hot-button issues such as this. The bottom line, politics aside, is that this amendment isn't needed and could have unintended consequences that are bad for Florida and its citizens.
