According to the state judge, if communities have a"compelling state interest" and a"narrowly tailored" plan of action, they have the authority to create their own safety policies -- whether the governor likes it or not., including making plans to block local officials' paychecks, the ruling was a dramatic setback.

MaddowBlog His balls ain't bigger than the system. I'm sure him and the hookers that he plays around with on the weekends would disagree, but the court systems got bigger balls as long as they themselves do the right thing

MaddowBlog So if he can't ban them from requiring masks, the future governor can't force them to require them either.

MaddowBlog Florida should reserve the right to abandon DeSantis.

MaddowBlog Yes. Bring him down. Vote him out

MaddowBlog Ron loses—again.

MaddowBlog Apparently GovRonDeSantis does have the authority to lie.

MaddowBlog Nanny state judge.

MaddowBlog Of course he is well aware children go to school and COVID-19 can be fatal for children and sickness a strong possibility?

MaddowBlog Desantis needs to be held responsible for his actions! For all the heartache and deaths he has caused through his self serving actions.. He knew he was wrong that is why he frantically set up treatment centers.
