Eh, Florida Democrats dug up the bloated corpse of Charlie Crist to run against him - you know, the guy who lost the general election as a Republican, a Democrat, AND as an Independent.
I not once saw any ads for him here in Tampa. It's like the opposition just said fuck it and did the bare minimum.
GOP: "We need transparency in the governement!"
"Okay, show us these records."
GOP: "Not for us... just the Democrats." >

Indeed...I don't know who invented the idea of "Rules for thee not for me" but I'd wager it was a Republican empty skull lol >

I t believe it’s attributed to the Romans but they appropriated a lot of things so maybe someone else? >

Pretty sure George Santos came up with that actually >

You're both right. George Santos was the Roman emperor who coined the phrase. >

Come to think of it...wasn't he THE founders of Rome? Back when he worked under the twin aliases,  the brothers Romulus and Remus? >

We would have heard about a wolf killed in 9/11. >

The Florida Sunshine Law just keeps eating it.

Gov. Ron DeSantis is using a legal concept historically wielded by the president of the United States as a justification to keep some information secret, sparking concerns from open-government advocates that Florida’s public records laws could be undermined.
DeSantis has invoked executive privilege on several occasions in recent court battles, a right that is not defined in state law or mentioned in the Florida Constitution. >

This probably isn't going to hold up to further court scrutiny. >

He'll just fire the judges who disagree with him. >

Not following Florida directly, but didn't he already do that?  Or was it the AG or something. >

Hillsborough County District Attorney. A judge recently ruled that DeSantis violated the first amendment by firing him, but also said that the court in question didn’t have the authority to reinstate him. >

A federal judge. It will now go to state courts which will have the authority to reinstate him if they rule the same way. >

As a lay person, and forgive me if this is an ignorant question, but why does the Judge need to be reinstated if the firing itself wasn't permissible. Shouldn't the judge simply return Monday morning as if this whole affair never occurred? >

It was a District Attorney not a judge. The Federal Judge was ruling on this case due to an appeal I'm guessing, I don't quite remember.
Back to your question though, While this federal judge found it was in violation from a federal perspective which might give the district attorney the capability to sue for civil damages, he didn't have the power to grant the job back to the DA, as that was up to the state.
The reason he cant just walk back in as if the whole affair never occurred is that since hes been suspended, people were told to probably remove his access to things and security to not allow him in the building on the orders of the Governor, someone much higher in power than the DA. So until a state judge overrules the governor and said ruling allows IT, security, and other departments to allow the DA to work again, he's suspended.
Edit: Legally there is also probably a big no-no too for the DA to try and do stuff while still officially suspended from a state perspective. >

Thank you, I really appreciate the explanation. >

How is Great Value Trump doing on the homeowners insurance crisis?  Maybe instead of banning books and vaccines and giving every zygote a gun at conception he could do something to benefit his state. >


homeowners insurance crisis

This.  We are being EATEN ALIVE by insurance premiums in Florida.
I have a concrete block house built in the 1950s.  It has a brand new roof that I paid to install.  My last homeowners 's insurance premium for one year of coverage was SIX THOUSAND DOLLARS.
DeSantis is such an idiot.
This premium excludes water damage, and has like a six percent deductible for hurricane damage.
The prices are shooting up, and the coverage is going down.  This is unsustainable. >

He’s a genius. He does nothing but tilt at windmills and got elected in a landslide. Florida voters are the idiots
