Attorneys for Gov. Ron DeSantis asked a federal judge on Tuesday to dismiss a free speech lawsuit filed by Disney after the Florida governor took over Walt Disney World's governing district in retaliation for the company opposing a state law that banned classroom lessons on sexual orientation and gender identity in early grades. DeSantis argued that the federal lawsuit should be dismissed since Disney lacks standing to file it. The planned hearing was the first time oral arguments were made in federal court in Tallahassee over Disney's claim that DeSantis used state powers to punish the entertainment giant in violation of the First Amendment. The governor's attorneys argued that the case should be dismissed, claiming DeSantis is immune since he doesn't enforce any of the laws that removed supervision of the government from Disney supporters. Any decision U.S. District Judge Allen Winsor takes could determine who controls the governing district that performs municipal services such as planning, mosquito control, and firefighting in the roughly 40 square miles in central Florida that make up Disney World. Winsor was appointed to the bench by President Donald Trump in 2019. Disney and DeSantis appointees also are battling in a state court lawsuit in Orlando over control of the district. #Queer Up Courts
