The executive order, issued in December, prevented the Council on American-Islamic Relations from receiving government benefits.
A federal judge on Wednesday blocked Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' order to classify a prominent Muslim civil rights group as a terrorist organization, calling the Republican's action "a political statement at the expense of others’ constitutional rights."
U.S. District Judge Mark Walker issued a preliminary injunction against the governor's actions related to the Council on American-Islamic Relations, or CAIR.
DeSantis issued an executive order on Dec. 8 calling CAIR a "terrorist organization," which prevented the organization from "receiving any contract, employment, funds or other benefit or privilege."
"The First Amendment bars the Governor from continuing the troubling trend of using an executive office to make a political statement at the expense of others' constitutional rights," Walker wrote.
Civil rights are terrorism to the new Nazi party, just like they were to the old Nazi party.
It's why they're going after antifa.

If the courts or Congress want to have an opinion on the matter they need to start having some teeth.
You cannot appeal to reason and law with the delusional and lawless.
