Florida appeals ruling that blocks drag show law

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 13:30:11 GMT

Gov. Ron DeSantis’ administration is asking a federal appeals court to largely put on hold a ruling that blocked a new law aimed at preventing children from attending drag shows.The state filed a motion Friday at the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that said U.S. District Judge Gregory Presnell of Orlando overstepped his powers when he issued a preliminary injunction that applied statewide against the law.Presnell’s ruling came in a constitutional challenge filed by the Orlando restaurant Hamburger Mary’s.The motion seeks a stay of the injunction while the DeSantis administration pursues an appeal at the Atlanta-based court. The motion, if granted, would allow the law to be enforced against establishments statewide, except against Hamburger Mary’s, which would continue to be shielded by the injunction.“An injunction preventing enforcement of the statute against HM (Hamburger Mary’s) fully protects HM from any … harm,” said the motion, filed by lawyers in Attorney General Ashley M...

Colorado Republican Party files lawsuits against Secretary of State, seeking to close primaries

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 13:30:11 GMT

As part of its chairman’s desire to close its primaries to all but registered Republican voters, the Colorado Republican Party filed a lawsuit against the Secretary of State Jena Griswold in federal court Monday, seeking to invalidate a ballot measure passed by voters in 2016.The suit, filed on behalf of the party by the attorney who represented Donald Trump after his 2020 election loss, is the latest effort by some Colorado Republicans to push back against Proposition 108, which allows unaffiliated voters to participate in parties’ primary elections and help select general election candidates. The suit alleges that the ballot measure “harms (the party) and its members by infringing upon their rights of free speech and association.”A similar suit, filed by a handful of Colorado Republican officials, was dismissed by a federal judge shortly after it was filed in 2022. The same attorney, John Eastman, represented those officials in that case, too. This latest e...
