Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis's Disney Attacks May Violate the First Amendment
Summary by NewsWall Apr 30 23
- While some First Amendment lawyers argue that a new Florida law revoking The Walt Disney Co.'s special tax status as a result of the corporation's free speech violates the First Amendment's protections against retaliation, others argue that the case is complicated by the unique circumstances.
- The First Amendment guarantees free expression and prohibits the government from retaliating against protected activities.
- According to Florida First Amendment attorney Thomas Julin, revoking Disney's licenses could give a partial basis for a claim of retribution, albeit it would be difficult to show in court.
- "That's very difficult," he admitted.
