It seems one FL senator has lost his mind

Correct. It has nothing to do with the topic of the article I posted.

Right, we should just be absolutists, regardless of the real-world impact. Actually it does. Libel and slander laws, which are limits on free speech, absolutely make sense, while requiring bloggers to register with the government makes no sense to anyone who has respect for free speech rights. Great. The article/topic has nothing to do with guns.

It has everything to do with it

Again if you can restrict one right you can restrict them all. You said you knew what precedence means.

All of our rights ARE restricted in some manner. That doesn't mean that all restrictions are appropriate or constitutional. Again, it's odd that I have to explain this.

It's only a bill containing one really bad idea, that probably won't got anywhere, but....

Florida bill would require bloggers who write about governor to register with the state

TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — Florida Sen. Jason Brodeur (R-Lake Mary) wants bloggers who write about Gov. Ron DeSantis, Attorney General Ashley Moody, and other members of the Florida executive cabinet or legislature to register with the state or face fines.

Brodeur’s proposal, Senate Bill 1316: Information Dissemination, would require any blogger writing about government officials to register with the Florida Office of Legislative Services or the Commission on Ethics.

In the bill, Brodeur wrote that those who write “an article, a story, or a series of stories,” about “the Governor, the Lieutenant Governor, a Cabinet officer, or any member of the Legislature,” and receives or will receive payment for doing so, must register with state offices within five days after the publication of an article that mentions an elected state official.

If another blog post is added to a blog, the blogger would then be required to submit monthly reports on the 10th of each month with the appropriate state office. They would not have to submit a report on months when no content is published.

Then stop whining. Most restrictions on rights arent constitutional but again precedence.
 
All these DeSantis idiocies are bullshit, he could give a rat’s ass about any of them, he is running for President, and to sway the Trump lemmings the are all designed purposely to out Trump Trump

He has the fortune of being a Governor, he doesn’t have to directly campaign against Trump, but rather purposely avoid him, instead employ his State policies to generate attention while not pissing off the Trumpkins by fighting Donnie

Interesting how DeSantis and Trump are both talking about making it easier to sue the media while at the exact time their biggest advocate FOX is arguing the need of media protection in their Dominion lawsuit

Interesting because DeSantis and Trump are

So, you believe that most restrictions are unconstitutional, yet you decided to argue with me about a proposal that we'd likely agree is unconstitutional?

states require all kinds of professionals to register

Do you freak out because a hair stylist has to register with a state when he/she starts charging for work?

But not because of their personal beliefs.

You want them to register their personal beliefs with The State, and the only purpose of that is so that you can identify and remove them later when they become the opposition.

JPP can count as a blog, so you would need to register with the State to post here under DeSantis' rules.
