Yeah the Florida law is still in effect until it’s been fully reviewed by the courts. There is not a moving on so long as the underlying law remains. In this whole thing DeSantis is attempting to place himself as having this outsized role.
The reality is that the legislative branch of Florida feels a need to target companies at the behest of the governor. And the matter of law is that, no you can’t just pick on companies for saying your law is shit.
Since our skirmish last year, Disney has not been involved in any of those issues. They have not made a peep. That, ultimately, is the most important, that Disney is not allowed to pervert the system to the detriment of Floridians.

And Disney would be fucking stupid to just stop now especially after that kind of comment that is quite literally a confession to a violation of their first amendment right. If this is the rationale for the law against Disney then, yes, there’s zero ways the law is Constitutional.
The guy has fucked himself in terms of running for president and this lawsuit will absolutely decimate any legacy for his Governorship of Florida. The GOP has a tendency to only put up with useful idiots, and this man’s utility is about to have run its course. I’ll credit DeSantis in that at least he’s smart enough to know he’s about to receive a swift boot to his ass from his political party. Combine with him making himself a pariah in pretty much every other political circle, he better hope that savings nest egg lasts him long enough for his mea culpa to play out and perhaps get him some low level job commenting on Fox.

Lol this guy is so bad at social interaction, Fox won’t touch him. He is a meme of social failure.
