In an interview with Greta Van Susteren on Fox News last night, Florida Governor Rick Scott minces no words in his declaration that Florida will not implement ObamaCare or expand Medicaid, and explains as a true job creator would why doing so would be catastrophic to Florida’s economy:

The United States Supreme Court yesterday declared that it would not consider a challenge to a 2006 Florida law that prohibits a state university or community college from using state funds to sponsor travel to countries designated by the US State Department as sponsors of terrorism. Countries on that list include Iran, North Korea, Sudan, Syria, and Cuba, which was the impetus for the law.

3 of the 4 key provisions of Arizona Senate Bill 1070 have been ruled invalidated. However, the bill’s main provision in Section 2B allowing police to check a person’s immigration status during a traffic stop or other detainment if there is reasonable suspicion that he or she is here illegally, stands.
Provisions of the bill that were struck down include the ability of police to arrest a suspect without a warrant if there is reasonable suspicion that the person is here illegally and making it a crime for an illegal alien to seek and obtain employment in the state.
The court is remanding the case back to the Ninth Circuit for further clarification, so the legal wrangling over Section 2B seems to be far from over.
