Ron DeSantis Sees Judge In Disney Battle Removed, But Not For “Woke” Bias
Disney responded on May 25 to the May 19 motion by the Sunshine State’s Attorney General to have Chief Judge Mark E. Walker removed from the matter for his so-called bias against DeSantis and his appointees about “political rhetoric directed at ‘woke’ ideology, calling ‘woke’ the ‘boogeyman of the day.’”
Defendants …base their motion on two year-old hypothetical questions during prior judicial proceedings where the Court accurately referred to widely-publicized statements from Florida legislators about their intent to change the governing structure of the Reedy Creek Improvement District specifically because Disney expressed a political viewpoint disfavored by the legislators.
A spokesperson for DeSantis said that their response would be via legal filings. The judge referenced the Disney matter in unrelated proceedings having to do with free speech litigation. DeSantis’ legal team contends that the judge’s remarks “create significant doubts” about his impartiality. Months after DeSantis turned he displeasure on Disney for the corporation’s fumbling opposition in 2022 to Florida’s Don’t Say Gay law, the Magic Kingdom belted DeSantis, Sasso and otherswith a stinging suit. Following up on comments Iger had already made publicly, the company claimed its First Amendment and other constitutional rights had been violated in retaliation for disapproval to the state’s discriminatory parental rights legislation.
