Florida’s Third District Court of Appeals has just made a landmark ruling that the Institute for Justice is calling “a major blow to property rights.”

There is something very wrong with this!
Maybe this court needs reminded that the constitution doesn’t”t give us the right to blow our nose either. This doesn’t mean the government HAS the right to prohibit any normal human activity at its own discretion.
That needs to happen now, we need a Convention if the states!
You don’t have the right to tell the American People they can’t survive by growing the food supplies, if you agree on the flowers people will only grow Poppies……
This is why we have the second amendment.
Sorry PETA, pigs and chickens it is.
Tony Kross we have a guy here who painted his wall and house different colors against code … I say the same it’s his house but codes were broken it’s the same with these guys and there garden… why not use there back yard for a garden. a corn stock in the middle of the yard does look out of place LOL
