Disney and DeSantis
DeSantis moves to disqualify judge in Disney lawsuit over Florida
The ongoing legal battle between Disney and the Florida governor, Ron DeSantis, has taken a new turn as DeSantis has moved to disqualify a judge in the lawsuit. The dispute centers around a state law that requires businesses to verify the immigration status of their employees. Disney is one of several companies suing the state over the law, arguing that it is unconstitutional and puts an undue burden on employers.
The latest development in the case comes as DeSantis prepares to launch his 2024 presidential campaign next week. The move to disqualify the judge has been criticized by some as a political ploy, aimed at garnering support from conservative voters. However, DeSantis has defended his actions, stating that he is simply trying to ensure a fair trial for all parties involved.
The future of the lawsuit
It remains to be seen what impact DeSantis' move will have on the lawsuit. Some legal experts have suggested that it could lead to further delays in the case, while others believe that it could ultimately be dismissed altogether. Regardless of the outcome, the dispute between Disney and DeSantis highlights the ongoing tension between businesses and state governments over issues such as immigration and labor laws.
