      This is straight out of the GOP playbook.

      Pass a law that you know will incite the Left. Ban abortion, ban gays, ban books; any civil rights violation will do.

      Now the Left is forced to choose between fighting the laws in court, or contributing to political races.

      Because the GOP runs the State, they can use taxpayer money to pay for the fight.

            The point is that the supreme court doesn’t work for the people. “Theirs” as in, who benefits from generations of racist voters and workers without critical thinking. And while Judge Carlos Mendoza, working as a federal District Judge made that ruling, it can certainly be appealed and end up at the level up the supreme court, being overturned, and setting a precedent that book bans are legal nationwide

              Okay, I took that comment to mean "It’s not our supreme court it would be appealed to, but rather Florida’s supreme court.
