June 2: Crist Should Legally Challenge Bill Stall

By Sylvia Gurinsky

The chief chutzpadik of the Florida House of Representatives, Speaker Larry Cretul, has taken his sweet time about sending that infamous ultrasound bill to Gov. Charlie Crist, wrote Steve Bosquet and John Frank:

It's a gutless act by Cretul, and one that circumvents the legislative process.

Aside from vetoing the bill, Crist should take Cretul to the Florida Supreme Court and let justices rule on whether Cretul or any legislator has the right to delay an approved bill from heading to the governor.

In this corner, it looks like Cretul and his colleagues are taking a hard right turn around state law.
