The Florida Supreme Court upheld a draconian law last week; the law states there is a PRESUMPTION of guilt if an individual possesses, sells, distributes, etc. prohibited drugs. I expected the freedom loving right be up in arms here, but nary a word. STRANGE.

Link?
Lets at least review the reasoning of the majority first. The law doesn't exist in a vacuum.

Why isn't the freedom loving left up in arms?

She already mentioned the right. I actively get called an idiot by both sides when I discuss (argue) my views about the laws. I sometimes wonder of people like Peach read the threads they post in, she accuses me of being right wing in the same thread the right wing accuses me of being a lefty.
The Florida Supreme Court said, pertinently, referring to its own precedent, "We thus have recognized that generally 't is within the power of the Legislature to declare an act a crime regardless of the intent or knowledge of the violation thereof.' Coleman v. State ex rel. Jackson, 193 So. 84, 86 (Fla. 1939)."
You DO have to know you possess a substance, but the State does not have to prove that you KNEW it was an "illicit" substance (i.e., a controlled substance). However, a defendant can assume a burden (an affirmative defense) and try to show that although he knew he possessed the material, he did NOT know it was an illicit (i.e., controlled) substance.
The Florida Court went ON to cite SCOTUS decisions along the very same lines.
So why is anybody "seething?"
I don't like it, either. But there are legitimate ways of correcting it.

I am sure the ruling will be struck down when it goes to the US supreme court.

I have not called you an idiot and occasionally see posts wherein your express a position based on liberty, regardless of the right/left tags.

If you read my post you will see I did not say you called me an idiot.

Do you sell, possess, distribute drugs?* why does this put you up in arms ?
