DeSantis isn’t really running the show
Every single trumped up, right wing, freakout is turned into Florida law within days:
lorida’s right-wing Republican Governor Ron DeSantis on Monday signed a bill into law that criminalizes peaceful protests in residential neighborhoods.
The draconian restrictions on free speech were levied in response to the nationwide explosion of demonstrations directed at the United States Supreme Court’s anticipated overturning of abortion rights that were established in Roe versus Wade.
But when pro-choice activists began picketing outside the homes of the five Associate Justices who were named in the draft majority opinion that was leaked last month, advocates for forced birth like DeSantis decided that the Constitution’s First Amendment right to petition the government should be suspended.
None of the Court’s nine jurists, however, live in Florida.
“Sending unruly mobs to private residences, like we have seen with the angry crowds in front of the homes of Supreme Court justices, is inappropriate,” DeSantis said in a press release. “This bill will provide protection to those living in residential communities and I am glad to sign it into law.”
Fox News is running the state of Florida. And apparently, the Republicans in the state couldn’t be happier. This is what they are looking for.
