[Florida] 'Republicans are trying to convince immigrants that the law was just to “scare” people, nothing more.'

That would be #Disney's argument.
The US Constitution says [in part]:
• No State shall ... pass any... Law impairing the Obligation of Contracts ....

• ... private property [shall not] be taken for public use, without just compensation.
https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/essay/amdt5-9-1/ALDE_00013280/
• No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States
https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/essay/amdt14-S1-2-2/ALDE_00000815/
• nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law
https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/essay/amdt14-S1-5-3/ALDE_00013749/
• [The Government] shall make no law ... abridging the freedom of speech
https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/essay/amdt1-7-1/ALDE_00013537/
• [The Government] shall make no law ... abridging the freedom of ... the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

So a legislative campaign to overturn Disney's contracts and privileges (including property rights that were granted) as part of a (ludicrously well-documented) retaliatory campaign to punish Disney for gently opining that the #FLGOP demonization of the 10% of Floridians who are gay and/or trans is wrong-headed and bad for business seems unAmerican and unconstitutional. #DeSantis is trying to win the public debate by argumentum ad baculum, which the concept of democracy enshrined in the Constitution cannot allow.

@slcw I agree.

The questions asked by the Judge on 2022/04/01 and 2022/06/21 don't reflect prejudgment, but rather that the Judge was paying attention to the news. The unique way #FLGOP telegraphs its punches would stick in any jurist's mind.

I hunted down the cases, but unfortunately could not find fuller transcripts for context. But do you know who would have fuller transcripts? The judge.

#Disney's pull-out game is enviable even for a practicing catholic.

1. Will DeSantis run or wait?

2. Will fed indictments blow up the #FLGOP?

3. Will FL insurance costs destroy DeSantis' popularity in his base?

4. Will FEMA politics cross over with the MTG congress?

5. Will House clowning become real credit default?

6. Will a credible alternative to Biden run in the dem primary?
