"To keep it simple for the State of Florida: it’s the First Amendment, stupid." -Actual quote from a federal judge who is very very sick of Florida's shit. www.courtlistener.com/docket/69265...

We're gonna have to deal with Florida governor running for the white in a few years, aren't we?

Wow

The purpose wasn’t for the action to survive judicial review, the purpose was to use govt resources to suppress political dissent via harassment in the crucial run up to the election. Desantis crew acts like the mob; intent on using govt to punish enemies and reward pals.

I'm past the hysterical laughter stage, just now in the intermittent giggling stage. We need more judges like that.....

I like this judge’s writing.

More astonishing is that it wasn't even the state's own in-house lawyers. This was Cooper & Kirk, really really NOT covering themselves in glory. I don't know how much money it would take to get me to make this argument, but I do know Florida doesn't have that much.

Wow.. that's brutal. And brilliant.

why is there no citation to this year's reaffirmation

I'm not a lawyer, but I feel like being on the receiving end of this would make me want to crawl under my desk and never practice law again.

people who are really mad about (imagined) government censorship of social media sure are quiet about florida in general huh. (post #2 on this is better :D)
