   The law's "vagueness permits those in power to weaponize its enforcement   
   against   
   any group who wishes to express any message that the government disapproves   
   of,"   
   Judge Mark Eaton Walker warns.

   Enforcement of Florida's "Combating Public Disorder Act" has been partially   
   blocked by a federal judge, who appeared to agree with those challenging the   
   "anti-riot" law that it was unfairly targeted at black Floridians and people   
   protesting racial injustice.   
      
   Challengers to the law argued that it had a chilling effect on free speech and   
   protest in the state.

   The challengers of the bad law are correct, of course.
