TL;DR Summary

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has moved to disqualify the federal judge overseeing Disney's political retaliation lawsuit, alleging that the judge's comments in previous cases raise doubts about his impartiality. DeSantis' legal team argued that Judge Mark Walker's remarks in two separate cases "could reasonably imply that the Court has prejudged the retaliation question" in Disney's case.
