“Is it normal for Governors, especially those who call themselves Conservatives, to get the State Legislature they have a majority in, to change the laws so that it benefits one specific person...the person who wants to run for higher office?”

I have not hit the panic button yet despite your dramatic and slightly scary reference to Governors getting “THE STATE LEGISLATURE THEY HAVE A MAJORITY IN TO CHANGE THE LAWS . . .”

I would find it more unusual for Governors getting legislatures they don't have a majority in to change the laws. Let's set that aside for a moment.

I don't see anything wrong with DeSantis running in the presidential primary while at the same time serving as governor.

As far as that goes, I didn't see anything wrong with Florida's Rick Scott running for federal office while serving as Governor. Neither did you; you actually invited admiration for Scott in your post 49.

Yes, not only because he reversed the change put in place by Charlie Crist, who was also looking out for himself, and also because Scott had the balls to remove Brenda Snipes from her position. Snipes was the long-time corrupt Broward County Election Supervisor. She had been appointed by Jeb Bush in 2003, replacing yet another corrupt County Supervisor Miriam Oliphant whom Bush had removed.

Snipes had initially submitted her resignation to Scott, then took it back, encouraged by the Union to request a hearing. She had previously been found guilty of illegally destroying original ballots before the legal date. She also regularly slow-walked results during elections, and would not provide information as to how many ballots yet needed to be counted, not even a rough figure. It was an on-going game she played. She was instrumental in a two-week delay in a final count for the Senate election of Scott and Nelson. The Judge at her hearing said she wasn't allowed due process, but refused to order the State to give her, her job back. Instead, he said he would leave her job future in the hands of the new Governor DeSantis, who then rescinded Scott's suspension, and allowed Snipes to resign, letting her walk away with her pension and benefits intact. When DeSantis did that, it was a slap to Rick Scott's face.

"Snipes told the South Florida Sun Sentinel, 'I was really concerned about restoring my name and my dignity ...Now there’s no shadow hanging over the office that I led for 15 years.'" All thanks to Ron DeSantis.

Fortunately, the bitch died last November.
