Rick Scott loses Monty Python court case, gets spammed by Floridians
RICK "CRAZY EYES" SCOTT


Practically every other person in Florida has sued Gov. Skelator Rick Scott, including the Teamsters. He's been taken to court for pulling the plug on a high-speed rail project, for drug testing state workers and for privatizing prisons, among other things.

Today, the nation's most unpopular governor lost his first case, a lawsuit brought by Rosalie Whiley, a blind woman on food stamps. She argued -- successfully -- that Scott overstepped his authority by freezing all rules until he could approve them. Whiley argued that Scott's edict delayed a rule that would have made it easier for her to order food stamps online.

The Miami Herald reports Florida's Supreme Court sided with Whiley. According to the Herald,

The court, in a 5-2 opinion, concluded that rule-making authority belongs to the Legislature, not the governor.
