I wonder and am a bit nervous that this can play out and set precedents that further entrench corporations above the state.
Tinfoil hat on: this is exactly the purpose, big money and GOP selected desantis to be “sacrificed” for expanded corporate rights. He loses the suits, loses nomination, loses govt position eventually and gets a very fat paycheck on a board of a nameless financial corp at the end.
In this mouse vs rat, my money is on the mouse.
Bury him. I expect no mercy from Disney, and he deserves none.
But he’s over it, so they should drop it. When I’m over a lawsuit the prosecutor usually drops it as well. It’s in the constitution article under the “I’m over it and it’s hurting my campaign” clause
Hey, I was just publicly attacking your giant corporation with publicity and regulatory action to benefit my political campaign. It didn’t work, so, you guys are cool, right?
Hey, I was just publicly attacking your giant corporation**'s fundamental Constitutional rights** with publicity and regulatory action to benefit my political campaign. It didn’t work, so, you guys are cool, right?
FTFY. If he was just attacking a corporation, no one would care. What he’s doing is wiping his ass with the Constitution.
If they passed these laws affecting Disney at any other time, without Governor Dipshitis making comments to make it specifically clear that he was punishing Disney for their criticism, Disney would have a tougher time fighting back. Making it specifically an attack on free speech rights was an incredibly short-sighted move.
The article said he was incapable of seeing more than a few moves ahead. I’d argue that he was incapable of seeing one move ahead.
