    Hey, I was just publicly attacking your giant corporation with publicity and regulatory action to benefit my political campaign. It didn’t work, so, you guys are cool, right?

      Hey, I was just publicly attacking your giant corporation**'s fundamental Constitutional rights** with publicity and regulatory action to benefit my political campaign. It didn’t work, so, you guys are cool, right?

      FTFY. If he was just attacking a corporation, no one would care. What he’s doing is wiping his ass with the Constitution.

      If they passed these laws affecting Disney at any other time, without Governor Dipshitis making comments to make it specifically clear that he was punishing Disney for their criticism, Disney would have a tougher time fighting back. Making it specifically an attack on free speech rights was an incredibly short-sighted move.

      The article said he was incapable of seeing more than a few moves ahead. I’d argue that he was incapable of seeing one move ahead.
