Under the governor's direction, the state of Florida sued the CDC in April, saying that Congress had never granted it the authority to regulate health and safety standards on cruise ships. He said the CDC's restrictions were illegal and harmful to Florida's economy.
A U.S. district judge granted the state a preliminary injunction against the CDC in June, but the CDC appealed the injunction. On Saturday, a three-judge appellate court panel delayed the injunction in a 2-1 decision issued a day before the injunction was set to take place.
On Monday, DeSantis pledged to appeal the decision all the way up to the Supreme Court so that cruise ships could operate without CDC interference.
He should win because the CDC has no law enforcement authority whatsoever. Frankly the CDC should be defunded and flushed down the toilet.
Our taxes go to so much waste. Most of these alphabet agencies need to go.
Forensic audit for all of them.
