> In the federal voting rights lawsuit, U.S. District Judge Mark Walker on Thursday blocked efforts by plaintiffs to question a representative of the governor’s office to see whether it played a role in UF’s decision to block the testimony by the professors. But Walker added that he was “not saying there is no issue here,” and openly speculated in his ruling that federal prosecutors could pursue felony witness-intimidation charges and said the plaintiffs might sue over the matter in civil court. Hopefully they don't just drop the matter here and actually pursue criminal and/or civil cases as suggested. There needs to be repercussions for this shit beyond just "oops, nevermind."
