In Florida, can a spouse sue the other for injuries arising from an MVA?
Let's assume one spouse is the at fault driver and they reside in the same household. If you can cite statutes or case law that would be perfect.
Again, if you can cite statutes or case law that would be perfect. Don't tell me to read the policy, that would be too easy. :-) BTW, I don't live in FL nor do I have a FL policy. I need statutes or case law.

Florida has very strong no fault laws. If the at fault driver carries the mandatory no fault coverage (Florida does NOT require liability coverag!), then they are IMMUNE to lawsuits, except in cases of extreme bodily injury like death or paralysis.
So, let's assume there's no auto insurance - sure, the injured party can sue the at fault driver. It would be fun, if they had to write a check to the lawyer out of the joint checking account. Basically, only the lawyer is going to make out, here.
However, even if they CAN sue (and they can!) the auto liability coverage WOULD NOT APPLY. The named insured, and the spouse, CANNOT EVER collect under the LIABILITY coverage of their own policy.
So it's kinda pointless, unless you're in the middle of a nasty divorce and just want to make their life miserable.

To answer your question; Yes he still states he will sue the DNC. I think the DNC caused this problem and they should pay for any "Do Overs". I think Al is just preventing Hillary from getting all the Delegates from MI and FL.

No.
Read your insurance policy carefully -- that is where you will find the insurance company asserting its right to control cross-claim authority under the same policy.
Assuming both spouses have the same insurance company...
