The 60% is a bunch of bullshit; there was a clear majority that wanted this...57.1%.

Is is also bullshit when the Senate requires 60% to pass?

Yes. Duh.

Hopefully that was sarcasm, and dude actually understands that the US Constitution requires that the Senate run by majority vote, with a very few exceptions like impeachment.

This is basic Civics 101/"How A Bill Becomes Law" stuff.

The routine "60% vote requirement" to pass legislation is a modern post-1970s abuse of the legislative process by the Republican party.

@buford 100% and thank you for bringing that fact up...I've always hated that 60% crap and always will and I don't hate much at all.

Oh there's plenty the Senate won't pass without 60 votes.

Passing a tax cut: 51 votes is fine.

Passing a $15 minimum wage? That "requires" 60.

I also find it funny Rhonda Santis was gloating about Amendment 3 not passing. A bigger percentage of Floridians voted for legal weed than voted for him either time.

 

[Flotsam]

So true . Raising threshold to 60 is about maintaining the status quo. Good luck FloraDah

I am thankful that we at least have medical and decent quality and I qualify

After marijuana measure’s failure, Florida’s hemp shops stand to benefit

Small businesses selling imitation marijuana products feared Amendment 3 would wipe them out. Will they profit from its failure?
