  We consider dissipative quantum phase transitions in Josephson junction
arrays and show that the disordered phase in this extended system can be viewed
as an unusual floating phase in which the states of local $(0+1)$-dimensional
elements (single Josephson junctions) can slide past each other despite
arbitrary range spatial couplings among them. The unusual character of the
metal-superconductor quantum critical point can be tested by measurements of
the current voltage characteristic. This may be the simplest and most natural
example of a floating phase.
