But please do go look it up and summarize with your own words, then I'll look it up and see how well your summary conforms to reality.
As long as we’re giving each other homework assignments, you go run a mile. When you’re done I’ll summarize the case for you. Video or it didn’t happen.

Eh. I'm getting into better shape, and in my day I was in better shape than you ever have been, or ever could be. Meanwhile, you're not getting any smarter. I do note that David French uses that O'Hare case when discussing Disney vs DeSantis, so that's where you got it, and whatever you managed to absorb from what he said, is what you'd be capable of parroting. And Disney vs DeSantis? Dismissed by a judge. Since we're appealing to legal authority to settle this, I thought you'd appreciate that.
Education is extremely important.

It’s still not comparable. SpaceX Is launching from Federal property on a military base as part of their approved Government contract. Does the Coastal Commission actually have the jurisdictional power to restrict their launches?
The coastal commission’s ruling covers only non-USG flights. IOW Starlink.

OK, phone call from SecDef...One partial use government satellite per launch.

Ruled against at district level but appealed the very next day to the circuit court. The two parties later reached a settlement. DeSantis replaced the Magats on the improvement district with serious people and agreed to renegotiate the terms of the deal with Disney. Disney agreed to suspend the appeal pending the renegotiation.
Kind of like what I thought would happen - once his campaign tanked, he’d quietly walk it back. He is a traditional business-friendly Republican politician, after all.
Only non-witches get due process.

And the one judge who actually looked into the legal principles involved here, disagrees with you. You appeal to the authority of the case French alerted you to, while shrugging off the ruling already made. I'm not a huge fan of an appeal to legal authority to determine whether your principle is coherent, but if that's your measure, you lose. If your measure is common sense, then you can go ahead and think San Francisco wouldn't be within its legal rights to sever business ties with a vendor who started selling white supremacist pamphlets as a side hustle. That won't be anybody else's common sense.

I will forever regret the campaign he ran. He should have destroyed that orange blowhard.

It’s just hard to be a post-Trump candidate in the Trump era. Vivek suffered the same fate.
I wonder if he’s kicking himself for not waiting. I bet he’d have easily been VP nominee had he played his cards right. And then he’d be odds on favorite for 28. Now he’ll have Vance to deal with.

Trump used to think the VP had total discretion to certify or not.
Do you think he believes it now?
My guess is he believes Harris doesn’t have that right, but Vance will have it in 2028. And if you asked him to justify that he’d vomit a bunch of incoherent non-sentences and the cult members would go “yep”!
