A federal judge in Florida on Friday permanently blocked a key part of Governor Ron DeSantis’s anti-woke legislation that would have banned diversity- and race-related training in private workplaces.

Here is a better source. National Review isn’t a credible source.

They lean pretty far right and are known to use emotional sensationalism in their articles. I’d much rather get my news from AP.

after the fox news docs were released in the dominion lawsuit where all the anchors knew they were lying but they did it because they feared losing watchers to newsmax should be a lesson in how the audience (and modern conservatives in particular) affects the market and how having a conspiratorial fan base will necessarily result in a credibility spiral.

Honestly it should be called the “Fox Newsmax” effect, or something. So its like, yes, the national review is probably in a similar spiral.

It’s amazing to me that someone who has the wherewithal to rise to the highest offices in the land, can also be such a blubbering insecure weak little bitch that they need to legislate against having to hear about reality. But then again, Donald fucking Trump became president and might do so again. I guess the highest offices in the land are actually pretty easy to get to after all 🤷‍

And no personal ethics at all. I dont think they even know what ethics are to begin with.

Let’s not place the blame only on DeSantis. There’s a large portion of the US who would be fine with Jim Crow being a thing again. Florida voters elected him because they knew he’d do this shit

A federal Mandate should be put in place where questionable laws which possibly violate the Constitution are not enforced until they are found legitimate.

He’s like a monkey throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks.

This seems to be a national problem

I like the intent behind that, but it would also be scary to give the courts even more power at this time in history.

The court decides regardless, this would prevent unconstitutional laws from going into effect

Yeah but the dynamic would probably change quite a bit if they were gatekeepers up front and new laws had to avoid a presidential veto plus a court veto. And it would let the courts act on their own rather then simply deciding cases that end up on their docket.

Like I said, the idea sounds like a nice thing. In just think we’ve seen enough to know that the execution would be a nightmare.
