Republicans in the state legislature are passing all kinds of stuff for laws that DeSantis violated. "Oh, this group he created isn't legally allowed to bring charges against people?" He's a new bill saying they can!", "Oh, DeSantis broke the law using funds to fly migrants from another state to ANOTHER state just for a political stunt? Oops here's a bill saying he can!"
"Oh, DeSantis needs authority to carry out his vendetta against Mickey Mouse? Oh here's a bill for that!" >

You are correct >

And it’s retroactive. Trump would have loved that remedy >

How are retroactive laws legal? If a politician violates a law, they shouldn't be able to pass a new law that says their past activity was actually legal. I thought all laws need to be effective when they are passed. (Or at some time in the future.)
Of course, what are you going to do? Sue DeSantis in the state courts in front of the judges that DeSantis appointed? They'll likely say that the governor can do anything he wants. Unless a Democrat somehow is elected, of course. Then, governor is a position with very limited power. >

See, this is why I'm worried about DeSantis.  He's spent months pulling stunts that have no basis in law to rile the MAGA base up with culture war bullshit...  And now he's going back and making it real and legal after the fact.  He's figured out that when you can write the laws, nothing is illegal. 
Now picture him as president.   He's way more dangerous because he'll be just as evil, but actually have the ability to form thoughts and make plans. >

As a Floridian who has watched DeSantis's career evolve, in some ways I think you give him too much credit. He is not smart enough to make plans, just smart enough to spout off what he knows people want to hear. I don't think he even realizes what he does or doesn't have the power to do. What is scary about him is that he has gotten bolder and more willing to just spew whatever his base, party, or financial backers want him to. A Desantis presidency would be like an even crazier Andrew Jackson/Donald Trump hybrid in all of the worst ways. >


I don't think he even realizes what he does or doesn't have the power to do

You're mistaking him for someone who has any respect or regard for his legal boundaries.  As long as no one holds him accountable and/or supports what he does no matter what, DeSantis has the power to do whatever he wants.  He knows this, and so do his supporters. >

Gov DeSantis is coming to grab your migrants...
 

The special session will also take up an immigration bill that would create the Unauthorized Alien Transport Program, making it legal for DeSantis to fly migrants from any state to another one. A law approved last year said the migrants had to be in Florida.
DeSantis was criticized for using state tax dollars to fly 50 Venezuelan migrants who were having their asylum requests processed by the federal government from Texas to Massachusetts, with only a brief layover in Florida. >


making it legal for DeSantis to fly migrants from any state to another one.

Seems like the other states should need to agree to something like this but hey I'm just an ordinary person in the US in 2023. >

Texas sheriff puts Martha’s Vineyard migrants on path to apply for special visa by declaring them crime victims
Go right ahead. The rightwing talking heads will turn on DeSantis, because his stunts helps immigrants remain in the US. 
Florida can change their law, but that's not the law that is going to bite DeSantis on the ass. It's still illegal activity. >

Florida Constitution Article I, Section 10, states that “No bill of attainder, ex post facto law or law impairing the obligation of contracts shall be passed.” So how is this legal as this is literally the definition of ex post facto?
The again, the MAGA idiots just enjoy using the foundational documents as jizz tickets so this is par for the course. >

Nothing like setting law like a dictator and having your slaves make it legal.  I'm literally ashamed that America still allows Florida to be a state.  Really y'all should discard us faster than a lit piece of dynamite...... >

This is a preview of what a DeSantis presidency with republican house/senate would look like, and it's terrifying.
