Quotes from #DeSantis' book "support the company’s central allegation: that the #Republican governor improperly wielded state power to punish Disney’s speech criticizing his policies, violating the #FirstAmendment.

Memoirs by presidential aspirants often lay out a blueprint for their coming candidacies. DeSantis’s does, too. It boasts extensively about his war on #Disney to advertise how he would marshal the powers of the presidency against so-called woke elites."

"Disney’s lawsuit cites exactly these passages. #DeSantis — who signed a law taking control of Disney’s special self-governing district, and moved to nullify the company’s efforts to work around it — repeatedly flaunts the truth: These were retaliation against #Disney for opposing his “don’t say gay” law limiting classroom discussion of sex and gender."

"DeSantis’s book brags about his rapid mobilization of the state legislature to target Disney’s tax district...

wrote a WSJ op-ed that explicitly discussed governmental actions against as an effort to “fight back” against its “woke ideology,” which is to say, its speech.

This is unusual... In such lawsuits, Wilkens notes, you “often have to make inferences” about the motives driving officials."

    I just saw a commercial for Young Jedi Adventures. You know children are going to be traumatized in the episode finale when Anakin visits the younglings in the Jedi Temple on Coruscant.

    DeSantis is promising "to hike hotel taxes and institute tolls on the roads around Walt Disney World Resort property.... Additionally, require state inspections of the property’s Monorails" How is this NOT retaliation because he doesn't like Disney's daring to speak out?

    “But also knows that it is fortunate to have the resources to take a stand against the State’s retaliation – a stand smaller businesses and individuals might not be able to take when the State comes after them for expressing their own views. In America, the government cannot punish you for speaking your mind.”

    We go live to Tallahassee, where Disney is conducting active negotiations with the Florida state government.

    Once these negotiations conclude, Mickey will return to Valhalla to slumber and feed.

    Here's a couple excerpts from Disney v. DeSantis that sum it up.

    In short, wants to prevent and his crony board from "voiding" the existing agreements between Disney and the Reedy Creek district.

    And, yeah, Disney's right about that.

    2. A targeted campaign of government retaliation—orchestrated at every step by Govemor DeSantis as punishment for Disney’s protected specch—now threatens Disney’s business operations, jeopardizes its economic future in the region, and violates its constitutional rights. 3. Today's action s the latest strike: At the Goveror’s bidding, the State’s oversight board has purported to “void” publicly noticed and duly agreed development contracts, which had laid the foundation for billions of Disney’s investment dollars and thousands of jobs. This government action was patently retaliatory, patently anti-business, and patently unconstitutional. But the Governor and his allies have made clear they do not care and will not stop. The Governor recently declared that his team would not only “void the development agreement”—just as they did today—but also planned “to look at things like taxes on the hotels,” “tolls on the roads,” “developing some of the property that the district owns” with “more amusement parks,” and even putting a “state prison” next to Walt Disney World.
    166. The substantial—indeed, total—impairment of Disney’s contract rights was not “necessary” to serve an “important” govermment interest, as required to survive Contracts Clause serutiny. U.S. Trust, 431 U.S. at 25-26. As alleged in this Complaint, the Contracts were abrogated as part of an explicit campaign of official goverment retaliation against Disney for expressing a viewpoint the Governor and Legislature disagreed with. That objective is the opposite of important—it is categorically impermissible. 167. Any other asserted reasons for abrogating the Contracts are pretextual. RCID was fully empowered to enter into the Contracts. Special districts commonly enter into contracts with developers, including special districts with goveming structures defined by land ownership. And the law establishing CFTOD expressly provides that all preexisting RCID contracts remain fully enforceable. CFTOD Charter § 1.
    PRAYER FOR RELIEF Plaintiff respectfully requests that this Court grant the following relief: A. Declare that the Legislative Declaration is unlawful and unenforceable because it abrogates Disney’s rights in violation of the Contracts Clause: B. Declare that the Legislative Declaration is an unlawful taking of Disney’s property rights without payment of just compensation in violation of the Takings Clause; C. Declare that the Legislative Declaration is unlawful and unenforceable because it was an arbitrary and irrational voiding of the Development Agreement and Restrictive Covenants in violation of the Due Process Clause; D. Declare that the Legislative Declaration is unlawful and unenforceable because it was enacted in retaliation for Disney’s speech in violation of the First Amendment; E. Declare that the Contracts remain in effect and enforceable: F. Declare that Senate Bill 4C and House Bill 9B are unlawful and unenforceable because they were enacted in retaliation for Disney’s political speech in violation of the First Amendment; G. Issue an order enjoining Defendants from enforcing the Legislative Declaration; H. lIssuc an order enjoining Defendants from enforcing Senate Bill 4C and House Bill 9B; I Award Plaintiffits attorney’s fees and costs: and J. Grant such other relief as this Court may deem just and proper.

    'This is a disgrace': Ron DeSantis sparks protests by receiving same award as Abraham Lincoln

    #RonDeSantis #DeSantis #AbrahamLincoln
    https://www.rawstory.com/ron-desantis-philadelphia-award/

    ne1for23,

    #Disney sued #Florida Gov. #RonDeSantis on Wednesday over the Republican's takeover of its theme park district, alleging the governor waged a "targeted campaign of government retaliation" after the company opposed a law critics call "Don't Say Gay."

    The lawsuit was filed in Tallahassee minutes after a #DisneyWorld oversight board appointed by DeSantis voted to void empowering Disney to make design and construction decisions in its sprawling properties near Orlando.
