The battle between Walt Disney World and the state of Florida has been going on for well over a year at this point and while it now seems all but assured that a federal judge will decide how this all ends, the question now is just who that federal judge will be. Last week the DeSantis legal team filed a motion to disqualify the judge in the case. Now Disney is filed its own motion arguing why the judge should remain.
The legal team for Ron DeSantis and the Board of the Central Florida Tourism Oversight Board, who are being sued, in their official capacities, by Disney for retaliation, has argued that Judge Mark E. Walker should be disqualified from hearing the case, which also includes a countersuit against Disney brought by the CFTOD.
