As I understand it, they don't even have any reason to hear an appeal - the previous court made a decision to not even hear the case, so there was no ruling to appeal.
The first court dismissed due to lack of standing. That is what the appeal is about.

According to multiple lawyers I follow, that isn't how it works, though. Like, there has to be a ruling to appeal and there isn't one, but they did anyway.

There was a ruling. The ruling dismissed the case due to lack of standing. A Dismissal is a ruling that can be appealed.

It is possible that the ruling has not been registered in the docket, but in a case where there is a notice of appeal and not granting the stay would lead to an irreversible act, the appeals court can grant a stay.

Who fills a candy bag with fentanyl and just hands them out like - well, candy? Certainly no one interested in not losing money!

When I was growing up, halloween candy was supposedly being laced with PCP and razor blades, so this fearmongering goes back decades.

What the fucking fuck is she thinking.

Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said on Wednesday that if the GOP wins a majority in Congress, it will investigate companies that stopped donating to them after the Capitol riot.

Speaking on former Trump adviser Steve Bannon's "War Room" podcast, Greene accused unnamed businesses of "corporate communism." She suggested that she and her Republican colleagues should probe such companies for their conduct.

"You know what they did after January 6, Steve? They stopped donating. All the lobbyists, all the big corporations stopped donating to a whole bunch of my Republican colleagues that they used to donate to," Greene said.

Apparently she's never heard of the term racketeering.

So, here we have Russell Simmons trying to counsel Kanye to "leave this fight, strategize and rebuild your business". Good advice.

What does Kanye do? He doubles down on his anti-semitism, gets blocked from Instagram for 30 days and declares that he is a digital prisoner. In other posts, he has said he knows what it is to feel a knee on his neck, comparing himself to George Floyd. This comes after he was sued by the Floyd family for pushing the theory that Floyd died from a fentanyl overdose, not Chauvin's actions. It's worth noting that is Candace Owen's favorite theory and her husband is CEO of Parler, of which they are trying to get Kanye to buy.

He once was homeless and hanging around a lumberyard looking for work. Once he found housing and had more time on his hands he began going online and into the labyrinth of far right sites.

He intended to break both knees of Nancy Pelosi.

It was just DeSantis playing to his "audience". Posturing. He knows who his "constituents" are and could care less about anyone else in the state, even Disney. What blows my mind is that with the "don't say gay" and "woke" insanity and the difficulty that it has caused businesses in Florida, that they still seem to support him. Nuts.

Wait until he's president. 💀☠
