“We are not gonna let Joe Biden try to inject men into women’s activities,” DeSantis continued. “We are not gonna let Joe Biden undermine the rights of parents, and we are not gonna let Joe Biden abuse his constitutional authority to try to impose these policies on us here in Florida.”
So it’s *Joe Biden* they claim is doing this? Mentioning him 10-15 times might make his “vice signaling” to his base clearer…
I assume if there is a Conservative in office in the future, DeSantis will thus have no problem at all if blue states refuse to comply with new Title IX rules.
No federal funds then..
Psst… Ron. You’re never going to be president. These stunts won’t rebuild your reputation. People have realized they just don’t like you.
Title IX derives its power from the 14th amendment (“*No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States*”).
So DeSantis isn’t just saying he’s going to ignore the rule. He’s saying he’s going to violate the 14th Amendment’s Equal Protection Clause.
The last time states did that en masse, Congress passed laws putting the Southern states under military jurisdiction.
The culture war is bullshit. It’s not about anything more than getting his name is the paper.
He needs to get his hands out of little kids underpants.
The rules “clarify that all our nation’s students can access schools that are safe, welcoming, and respect their rights”. A bridge too far in Florida, I guess.
It’s not just Florida. Oklahoma, Louisiana, and South Carolina are also refusing to comply. Hate-states are all in on oppressing LGBTQ+ citizens. They are going to resist all attempts by the federal government to prevent them from implementing their agenda. I’m fully expecting that if (and I think *when*) The Equality Act is passed, hate-states will align with each other and refuse to follow Federal law. They will have to be aggressively forced into compliance.
Maybe not a just time to be butting head with a guy who has a 50% shot of finding out that he can legally assassinate political rivals soon.
From the article, a response from the administration:
“These MAGA politicians are choosing theatrics and hateful rhetoric over protecting and furthering the needs of their state’s students,” Wolf said in the statement.”
It’s definitely hateful rhetoric. I suppose it’s theatrics, but not any theatrics I’d pay to see. I just want them to shut up and try to govern on planet earth, not this fever dream where brown people, gay people and transgender people are trying to hurt white people. Ffs, they’re just way too busy trying to make the rent and pay for food. They don’t have time to do half the stuff MAGA thinks they do.
Yeah with all of Trump’s shit-farting taking the nation’s attention, we’ve taken our eyes off the little dicktater of Florida. Hopefully he’s the next tick we can dig out.
When the next hurricane hits Florida Ronny, don’t come looking for federal assistance.
Cut ‘em off. No federal monies. DeSantis can run his own welfare system for his poverty stricken citizens. No medical either!
Cut off federal funds. Call there bluff. No disaster relief.
Say goodbye to about 33% of the Florida state budget that comes from the federal government then. Supremacy Clause is a wonderful thing.
Biden just needs to pull a Regan. Don’t give federal funds to states not enforcing construction safety rules and federal regulations.
Not really his choice. It’s tied to federal money. Don’t comply and watch your backwater raccoon themed opium den of a state become an even bigger disappointment
I’m really getting sick of this trans-hate thing. Can they move on and pick a new bugaboo. How about circus clowns or non-certified accountants or line cutters or paralegals?
Then Florida will lose federal education dollars, simple as that.
Then they don’t get Federal funding. It’s that simple.
This guy is such a a fuckin goober.
Ok. Don’t. Enjoy watching your football programs get kicked out of the NCAA. Enjoy losing public funds. Enjoy the brain/talent drain as your kids move out of state. Fuck do we care? Your state is a hot soup of methheads and alligators. Disney’s spending billions on fucking ANAHEIM, in the most expensive state in the union, rather than deal with you. You want to be a weird dick? Enjoy your fucking hurricane magnet of a trash swamp without the feds. See how that goes (btw, you’re sinking into the rising ocean, might wanna get some sandbags).
These big talk threats only work if there isn’t a direct, built-in consequence. Biden doesn’t have to lift a finger for this to cause you pain, man. Do whatever. See how it goes.
So, it is the official position of the Florida government that laws are optional?
Oh shit, what’s that? A hurricane?
Darn. Good luck Florida!
Weird. I seem to recall DeSantis’ response to a lower government official ignoring his higher government decree being removal of that lower government official. Guess those rules don’t apply to Lifts McPuddingfingers
