In the filed response , Disney's legal team claim,"Defendants' motion to disqualify is premised on a misapprehension of the law and a misstatement of the facts," putting forth Judge Walker's"lengthy record of consistent fairness and objectivity" and accusing DeSantis' administration of attempting to distort a few of Judge Walker's previous comments in a way that misrepresents the facts.
Defendants …base their motion on two year-old hypothetical questions during prior judicial proceedings where the Court accurately referred to widely-publicized statements from Florida legislators about their intent to change the governing structure of the Reedy Creek Improvement District specifically because Disney expressed a political viewpoint disfavored by the legislators.
Judges are not prohibited from referring accurately to widely-reported news events during oral arguments, nor must they disqualify themselves if cases related to those events happen to come before them months later. Disqualification is allowed only if the prior comments expose an incapacity on the judge's part to consider the new case on its own merits. The comments here come nowhere close to that standard.
