With the recent lawsuit filed by Walt Disney Parks and Resorts against Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, the power of the Citizens United v. FEC Supreme Court ruling is being invoked. The 2010 Supreme Court ruling set a precedent that corporations and unions could spend unlimited amounts to support or oppose any political candidate as long as such spending was independent of the candidate. Democrats strongly opposed the ruling, fearing corporations would have an undue influence over politicians. However, today, the same ruling is being cited by Disney as the company challenges the Florida governor for violating its right to freedom of speech. The lawsuit filed by Disney alleges that Governor DeSantis retaliated against the company after CEO Bob Iger spoke out about Florida's "Parental Rights in Education Act" (dubbed the "Don't Say Gay" law). Legal experts assert that precedent set in Citizens United may work in favor of Disney’s lawsuit. Some Republicans, like GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, have criticized Governor DeSantis's attack against the company, suggesting DeSantis's campaign against Disney undermines his crusade for freedom.
