DeSantis takes legal action against the CDC -- but some legal experts believe it's a 'political stunt'

According to the Miami Herald, DeSantis has filed a lawsuit against the public health agency in an attempt to expedite cruise ships returning to sea. In a press conference held on Thursday, April 8, DeSantis was joined by Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody (R), U.S. Rep. Carlos Gimenez (R), and Miami-Dade County Commission Chairman Jose "Pepe" Diaz (R) as he explained his reason for taking legal action.

The publication reports that no cruise line representatives were present for the press conference as they "were caught off guard by DeSantis' suit." DeSantis' lawsuit comes as frustrated cruise companies threaten to begin cruising from ports outside of the United States as early as June of this year. With that threat looming, Florida's travel economy could suffer another blow.

"Instead of flying to Miami, spending money to stay in our hotels, spending money to eat in our restaurants before they get on the ship, they're going to fly to The Bahamas, and they're going to get on the ships from the Bahamas, and they're going to spend money in the Bahamas," said DeSantis. "And they're going to do the same thing they would have done, it just won't be helping the state of Florida and it won't be helping our folks here who really depend on it.".....................................


Democratic leaders and lawmakers have pushed back to make it clear they do not support the governor's efforts. Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava (D) released a statement criticizing DeSantis' legal effort.

"The tens of thousands of jobs in our community supported by the cruise industry are too important to be jeopardized by politics," she said in a statement. "...We are encouraged by recent conversations with the CDC laying out a roadmap for a safe return to sailing, including recent signs pointing to a hopeful July restart, and will continue our dialogue with the CDC and our industry partners to get cruises back in the water."........................

2. Amazingly, this is what works for Republicans

I can't imagine how, but it does.

3. I don't think there has been anything in our time that best defines the Republican

strategy, than their response to Covid.

After you remove all the noise they create, claiming they're the party of family values, morality, fiscal conservatism and patriotism, they're left with this one glaring truth: They want to dry out government's response to the masses, while finding ways to divert government money to take care of their own. That's why they rely on privatization.

4. He's Preparing To Run For President In 2024

Enough people think he did a good job during the last year, to give him a decent chance.

I'm sure that since Drumpf isn't going to run, he stands a decent enough chance of getting an endorsement.

5. If he is able to enforce his Vaccine Passport ban

People will not be taking cruises from Florida. For the majority of cruise customers, a completely vaccinated ship is a prerequisite to going on a cruise.
