Will Florida have a Special Session in the next few weeks?
Based on Gov. Ron DeSantis’ comments, it’s possible, though he’s distancing himself from one potential component.
Regarding the addition of potential constitutional amendments to clog the ballot and blunt the popular appeal of measures that would legalize abortion up until the point of viability and allow for non-medical adult use of cannabis, DeSantis is coy.
“That would be news to me if that were to happen in terms of any other amendments being added to the ballot. But, you know, there may be people in the Legislature talking, it’s not coming from me if that’s the case.”
Meanwhile, DeSantis is again advocating for legislation like Texas’ SB 4, which is still in the courts.
“Given what’s happened, the states, we need to do whatever we can to be able to protect against (illegal immigration),” DeSantis said.
The Governor invoked his migrant transport program to Martha’s Vineyard as proof that Democrats “want an open border until they have to deal with it,” claiming “Venezuelans were high-fiving” him for his expulsion of illegal immigrants Nicolas Maduro is sending to the country.
“So whatever we can do to protect in light of some of the things Texas has done, I’m supportive of and, but I will say this, the actions we’ve taken have been effective,” DeSantis said.
The Florida Governor made the comments Thursday in Jacksonville at the VyStar Tower.
As the Texas Tribune reports, the bill could put border crossers in jail for six months on their first offense, and up to 20 years for a repeat offense. It would also force Judges to order repatriation, with local law enforcement responsible for taking undocumented immigrants back to the border.
The Governor had said he wanted a Special Session more than a month ago.
“I’m working with folks to craft, if there’s something we can do in a Special Legislative Session, to give our law enforcement more authority to arrest and detain, because I think that will be a huge disincentive for people to come if we can do it,” DeSantis said on the Sean Hannity radio show.

If they didn’t squander the regular session on trans drag queens and Disney, they wouldn’t need to be paid overtime for a special session. Fire them all at their next elections!

Memories of the “Sanctuary City” liberals. It all sounded good until the illegals showed up in their neighborhood. Let’s build a tent city in MHDuuuval’s neighborhood

The solution is scattered housing, whether homeless vets or asylum seekers, so even Peachy could get involved. (Don’t worry, vets and asylum seekers don’t carry cooties.)

PEACHY, DO YOU EVER GET ANYTHING RIGHT? DON’T ANSWER, BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE SOME KIND OF DECEPTION IN ITSELF.

Dear Florida Lega-slaughters, thank you for holding a very special session at taxpayer expense so you can address the Florida insurance and affordability crisis causing people to lose their homes and flee the state…Oh, wait. You only want to talk about space invaders and how the state doesn’t already have enough power. Ok. Maybe next time.

Our situation is analogous to Gaza where thugs got into office — in Florida that would be the 1990s — and never left due to various under- and high-handed actions and vests infusions of cash.

MH, thanks for the answer. your perspective sounded about right. greed is an evil thing. evil in the human suffering sense of the word, not that biblical bull.

Just when you think you have read it all. MH compares the political leadership of Florida to a terrorist organization, Hamas, that just murdered roughly 1200 people back in October. I am not aware of any tunnel networks in Florida where those bad Repubs pop out and kill people. Also not aware of daily rocket attacks into liberal enclaves like Broward, Palm Beach, and Pinellas County.

IBS it’s that commutative property.
The political leadership of Florida, “A,” is a bunch of whiny white nationalists, “B”.
Some whiny white nationalists, “B,” are domestic terrorists, “C,” while most are just dipstick wannabees “DW”
If A is like B and B is like C, then A is like C
And a B is also like DW, so A is like DW too.
IOW the majority of the political leadership of Florida are a bunch of dipstick wannabees, but a few are domestic terrorists
