Of course he gets it. DeSantis is an intelligent man and lawyer. Here's the thing; He cannot lose with this stance. It's a no-brainer.

He gets to appeal to GOP voters up front and hits 'em again when he's shot down. "Damned woke mind virus Democrat communist haters and legislating-from-the-bench liberal judges! Keep voting for me and we'll eventually win!"

He's term limited as governor. Question is what he does next.

I mean… if the USSC ends up ruling in June that a sitting president can, as an official act, order the assassination of a political rival… maybe he gets a visit from an officially-ordered spec ops team to “nullify his opposition”?

Who fucking knows at this point. I feel like we’re rapidly approaching the point where nobody’s even pretending that the rules even exist anymore.

when he's shot down

That's optimistic. The leaders of the fascist GOP seem to have been given pretty much free rein by the extremely overcautious Garland DOJ.
