☆ DeSantis is trashing Disney all over America, accusing the company of trying to 'sexualize' children. Don't expect Disney to hit back in court, defamation experts say

Ron DeSantis is campaigning for president, touting his record in Florida and dragging Walt Disney World through the mud everywhere he goes. Then, DeSantis lobs an incendiary accusation: Disney, by opposing the schools bill, was promoting the "sexualization of children." Part of Disney's hurdle in the courts would be that DeSantis' statements are his own opinion. Similarly, even though DeSantis appears ready keep raising Disney at every campaign stop, a defamation lawsuit would take on another dimension that gets loads of news coverage. Even though Disney would be the plaintiff in a defamation lawsuit, materials uncovered during discovery could put Disney in the position of defending its internal communications or business practices.

Chief Justice John Roberts voted with the liberals on the Supreme Court in key cases this term. Hardline conservatives have soured on the chief justice for his opinions siding with the Court's liberal justices in recent years. "Roberts' is the one whose name will be attached to this — it is the Roberts Court. The Times found in this term, the chief justice voted less often with the conservative majority and voted with liberal Justice Elena Kagan 14% more than the last term. "And I think Roberts perhaps has more of a concern with that kind of perspective because he's in the Court's center chair, because his name is attached to it, because it's his legacy."

M&M’s relatively subtle changes aimed at inclusivity didn’t seem like they were designed to spark much controversy, if any. At the Washington Post, for example, an opinion piece declared “the M&M’S changes aren’t progressive. “In the last year, we’ve made some changes to our beloved spokescandies,” M&M’s said. “The original colorful cast of M&M’s spokescandies are, at present, pursuing other personal passions,” Wesley said.
