The Warren decision definitely challenges some of the issues raised earlier regarding otherwise permissible acts. The desire to surprise Disney really undercuts the state’s position as they didn’t even bother to do the pretextual work up front and it has only really now been undertaken by the District itself. The big difference though is executive versus legislative action, but when you have the true cause as part of the official legislative record it seems hard to ignore that.

Yeah, they're blatantly trying to work backwards to find anything to justify what they did after the fact. It's too late to fool anyone looking at it fairly and the state's only hope is to get a string of judges who look at the case through the same biased lens (up to and including the Supreme Court).

I think the odds in the lower federal courts have increased for Disney. They submitted this ruling to get it into the record that it is now precedent for the 11th Circuit. Obviously nothing is guaranteed but at least for now it seems that motivation is something the federal courts are seriously going to consider. Disney also now has some more time since the Warren case was sent back to the lower court for consideration which will maintain the 11th Circuit’s ruling for a longer period of time.
