Florida GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis took a victory lap today after the city of Gainesville rescinded their COVID vaccine mandate following a court ruling against them.
In a tweet, DeSantis said, “Florida workers should not lose their jobs based on COVID shots. The City of Gainesville rescinded its mandate, which threatened to kill many jobs.”
Circuit Judge Monica Brasington ruled the city of Gainesville must not enforce its vaccine mandate and cannot discipline, or terminate, employees for failing to get vaccinated.
In her order, Judge Brasington wrote that, “The city failed to put on any evidence that the Vaccine Mandate serves a compelling state interest or that the Vaccine Mandate was the least restrictive means to accomplish that interest.”

Excellent...

Yes. Winning!
They way can biden mandate it for federal contracts?
The normals have to fight them and fight them. Why? Why are the mandators so evil and stupid?
Sounds promising for UF
At least one politician is fighting back. Hello GOP are you watching and learning how to defend your voters?
Praise Jesus Christ for sweet victories!!!!!!
Gainesville is a sapphire blue speck in a sea of red. They will be apoplectic that lord government didn’t tell them all is well.
Great news!
Gainesville is quite “interesting” when you leave the campus.
I was over by Shands Hospital, they were quite busy.
We also had a bum camp in the woods by us.
Actually, "compelling state interest" is a totally flexible consideration. It is whatever the judge wants it to be. This draw, got a judge to decide this way. Get a different judge and the outcome is reversed.
"Public health" is always a compelling state interest, so a judge that views the health of one as the same as public health will come to the opposite side on this case.
Law is all outcome driven. The rhetoric (like "compelling state interest") masks the fact that law is really based on whim.
Wonderful! Gainesville is the home of the left wing USF and is probably the leftist of the left places in Florida.
USF?
That's THE University of Florida! USF is in Tampa.
Lets go gators — Come on gators — get up and go!
USF — how quaint.
Sorry that should be Come on gators — lets go gators, get up and go. Was a little dyslexic there.
“Law is all outcome driven. The rhetoric (like “compelling state interest”) masks the fact that law is really based on whim.”
I hereby nominate you for the recently resurrected “You done went and said a mouthful” award.
Amen!
