That's why your vote matters. As we've seen time and time again. The corrupt win if we let them seize power.

So it's you then.
There has to be an appeal I would think.

Me as well and I think this is going to go to a higher court.
Highly unlikely to succeed though, this was dismissed prior to trial.

It's a Federal Court in Tallahassee. Not a state court. Not sure any court higher up would have any interest.

Anyone remember the movie Wag the Dog?
We basically have been living in it for 10 years…a media driven circus/sideshow that showcased liars and grifters
…details not coming at 11

Wait? How did this happen, this seems pretty cut and dry and they didn’t even allow it to have a trial?
All this waiting for nothing? Corruption? I can’t tell.
Does this also mean the board’s lawsuit is also gone?

It get's appealed to the 11th circuit, being dismissed prior to trial is an even higher bar that has to be reached by the judge. So I wouldn't say it's Highly unlikely to succeed. At least at this point.
A federalist society member whos views directly align with trump and desantis. Frankly it was expected.

Here's what everyone needs to know.
"Disney has alleged enough to show standing to sue the CFTOD Defendants. Disney has not, though, shown standing to sue the Governor or the Secretary." (p. 5 of https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.flnd.463456/gov.uscourts.flnd.463456.114.0.pdf)
In other words, this suit is dismissed. Go back to the drawing board and re-work your suit against CFTOD only.

Not sure why you say it's unlikely to succeed. Motions to dismiss are overruled on appeal all the time. If the appeals court feels Disney does have standing to sue, they remand back to the judge.
That's true, but there is still the appeal. The appeals court seems to be a bit less friendly to DeSantis than some of the district courts are.

I think you missed where he said
" and its claims against the CFTOD Defendants fail on the merits because “when a statute is facially constitutional, a plaintiff cannot bring a free-speech challenge by claiming that the lawmakers who passed it acted with a constitutionally impermissible purpose.” In re Hubbard, 803 F.3d 1298, 1312 (11th Cir. 2015). "
He basically shutdown Disney's claims of retaliation purely on the Hubbard case.

This could set a new precedent for cases like this.

If it stands then it sure will.
I look forward to all the people who would celebrate a decision like this being consistent and celebrating it when other states start using it to target other companies.

The recurring theme is the judge feels the law was 'facial constitutional' and because it doesn't single out Disney by name or text... well it can't be an exception to the tests in Hubbard.
Basically the judge wanted no part in hearing anything that wasn't literally the words on paper in the law.

If Universal were in Disney's position, they may very well take a different view.
Glad to see Disney saying it will not end here.
