They didn't eclipse state powers, they held a public meeting where they announced what they were gonna do and then did it, banking on DeSantis not actually paying close enough attention. Even if the new contract doesn't hold up in court, it'll take months if not years to figure out. It was a solid and amusing piece of legal judo. Flashy and maybe not entirely substantial, but it did what it needed to - buy time while making DeSantis look like he doesn't know what's happening in his own state. Even if the "surprise" board agreements aren't ultimately effective, they are entertaining. Which is of course the real goal. Make some theatre in the news that will entertain and endear.
The lesson is, if you think you've cornered a massive entertainment corporation and they've stopped fighting back... LOOK BEHIND YOU

Good response. I think what you wrote is an example of "lawfare".
