11. The opinion clearly states that had Commercial Speech NOT been excepted, the law was good

The opinion clearly states that had Commercial Speech NOT been an exception to the general ban, the law would be constitutional. The inclusion of Commercial Speech as a EXCEPTION to the general rule is what made the law violate the First Amendment.

Thus this is a quick fix by the State legislature, just re-pass the law WITHOUT the exception for "Business". THe problem is this being Florida, I see the business community opposing the law unless it did contain that exception. Thus I suspect no quick fix.
