FL Takes A Swing At Reporters, Knocks Out First Amendment - Above the Law
If they don't say they're overturning NYT v. Sullivan, maybe no one will notice?

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’s plan to culture war himself into the White House continues apace. Today’s performative flexing includes a bill to overturn the Supreme Court’s holding in NYT v. Sullivan and allow religious people to recover a minimum of $35,000 if someone calls out their bigotry. If this bill passes, calling someone out for discrimination based on their religious or “scientific” beliefs would be defamation per se, costing the speaker at least $35,000 irrespective of actual harm caused.
Basically, according to the language in the bill; an allegation that the plaintiff has discriminated against another person or group because of their race, sex, gender constitutes a violation of the law. Which is pretty awesome because it will totally shut down the woke-left BLM Antifa tranny crowd.....One of the worst things to happen in the last 60 years was making it illegal or bad to discriminate against blacks, Commie Jews and gays....I could get behind banning discrimination in general, but sometimes you need laws that will put these gays and woke-left Jews in their place....
For example, in Florida.....if someone tried to report these guys for discrimination and it turns out these guys are Nazis due to their religious beliefs.....they owe these guys 35K a piece...lol.....the libs would be so triggered...go DeSanits!!
