Ron DeSantis Taken to Court Over Censorship

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:53:41 GMT

The Walt Disney Company filed suit on Wednesday in federal court against Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.The suit comes almost exactly a year after DeSantis first lashed out at the entertainment giant for pausing political donations and criticizing the governor’s since-enacted controversial bill — dubbed “Don’t Say Gay” by opponents — that bans teaching sexual orientation or gender identity to certain students. Disney claims that DeSantis weaponized Florida’s government by revoking its long-held special tax status immediately after it came out against the the governor’s policy.“Maybe he’s for free speech as long as it’s speech he likes.”Though First Amendment retaliation suits are notoriously difficult to prove in court, lawyers said that Disney may have an unusually strong case.“I find it hard to see how you can argue that you’re for free speech when you punish a corporation for their political views or you’re banning books,” said Catherine Cameron, a professor who teach...

He’s got speed, he’s got size, he’s got a great hockey IQ, very competitive and a lot more. Unbelievable shot, too.”Hintz is certainly putting up video game-like numbers in the first-round series against the Minnesota Wild. The 6-foot-3 top-line winger’s NHL-leading 11 points (four goals, seven assists) through five games are already the most for a Dallas Stars player in a single playoff series. After a hat trick and an assist in Game 2, Hintz now has consecutive three-assist games. He helped on six consecutive goals for the Stars in Games 4 and 5, both wins, which put them ahead in the best-of-seven series for the first time. Game 6, a potential clincher fo...
