    You won't Ron?


    Let me check my Constitution.....

    Article IV, Section 2, Clause 2: A Person charged in any State with Treason, Felony, or other Crime, who shall flee from Justice, and be found in another State, shall on Demand of the executive Authority of the State from which he fled, be delivered up, to be removed to the State having Jurisdiction of the Crime.

    Bro, you don't have a choice unless........you hate the Constitution too.....

    Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) on Thursday called the indictment of former President Trump “un-American” and said the state would not assist in any extradition request.

    “The weaponization of the legal system to advance a political agenda turns the rule of law on its head. It is un-American,” DeSantis, who is seen as Trump’s top rival in a potential 2024 GOP primary, tweeted after news of the indictment broke.

    “The Soros-backed Manhattan District Attorney has consistently bent the law to downgrade felonies and to excuse criminal misconduct. Yet, now he is stretching the law to target a political opponent,” DeSantis continued, adding that Florida would not assist in an extradition request “given the questionable circumstances at issue.”

    A Manhattan grand jury on Thursday voted to indict Trump on criminal charges for his role in organizing hush money payments made to an adult film star during his 2016 campaign.

    Trump, who is a Florida resident, is expected to be arraigned next week.

    Florida is a sanctuary state when it comes indictments from political witch hunts.

    Hmmm, all kinds of crackpot legal theories to be tested coming from this. Once again, looks like MAGA will dominate news coverage for the next 2 years.

    Trump's gotta love that.

    Can the leftists say, "Shoot yourself in the foot"?

    Oh, absolutely. The whole fraud of the Biden and Deep State win should evaporate like rubbing alcohol on a hot sidewalk.

    What will Trump do if he has to travel all over the country for his magnificent campaign?

    The good thing is no matter which way DeSantis goes, he loses. If he protects Donnie, he might as well kiss a 2024 bid out the window, as the rest of the nation will see him as not upholding the law. If he hands Donnie over, the MAGA minions will eat him alive.:D

    Believe it or not, this may not even be the biggest bee in Ron's bonnet today (which goes nicely with his boots, BTW).

    This Disney thing is just getting funnier and funnier.... and more expensive...... and funnier

    Florida will not assist in an extradition request given the questionable circumstances at issue with this Soros-backed Manhattan prosecutor and his political agenda
    ENDSNIP

    That's the entire situation... unless you want to play the context card that DeSantis does when people direct quote him?

    Yeah, MAGA’s and Republicans just piss on our Constitution at will when they don’t agree with it.

    BTW, Section 1 of the IV’th also applies:

    Section 1 Full Faith and Credit Clause
    Full Faith and Credit shall be given in each State to the public Acts, Records, and judicial Proceedings of every other State. And the Congress may by general Laws prescribe the Manner in which such Acts, Records and Proceedings shall be proved, and the Effect thereof.

    Florida is a Sanctuary State from Soros Puke Felons with questionable indictments. You folks are big fans of Sanctuary states shielding felons from law enforcement. Now you're claiming that sanctuary states that shield felons 'hate the constitution'? BAHAHAHAHAHA! Weird how you never mentioned that before. BAHAHAHAHA!

    DESANTIS FIRES BACK AT MANHATTAN D.A. OVER TRUMP INDICTMENT:

    “The weaponization of the legal system to advance a political agenda turns the rule of law on its head,” DeSantis said in a statement. “It is un-American. The Soros-backed Manhattan District Attorney has consistently bent the law to downgrade felonies and to excuse criminal misconduct. Yet, now he is stretching the law to target a political opponent.”

    “Florida will not assist in an extradition request given the questionable circumstances at issue with this Soros-backed Manhattan prosecutor and his political agenda,” DeSantis added.

    This guarantees that when the worm turns, and it will, Bidens will get their turn.

    It's not entirely clear how that part of the Constitution should be interpreted under all circumstances.
    What is universally agreed upon, at least at this point in time, is that if one state claims jurisdiction over a person who is currently in a second state, and that second state doesn't want to give them up, then the federal level of government has jurisdiction over deciding whether that person should be extradited to the first state.

    Now, to be entirely fair, it's hard to argue that Trump literally "fled from justice" when he decided to move to Florida.
