Nebraska GOP Senator Ben Sasse is expected to resign from the Senate to become president at the University of Florida. "I think Florida is the most interesting university in America right now," Sasse said in a statement after the school announced that a search committee recommended him for the job of school president.
Sasse, 50, in his second term in the Senate, has often lamented Donald Trump's influence on the Republican Party and frequently clashed with the 45th president. He was one of seven Republican senators last year to vote to convict the former president on impeachment charges that he helped inflame a mob to attack the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
The timing of Sasse's departure could be significant. The Nebraska governor would appoint a replacement. Current governor Pete Ricketts is a Republican, but his office is up for grabs in the November election. The University of Florida Board of Trustees has to approve the recommendation of Sasse as president and is scheduled to consider the appointment at a meeting on Nov. 1. Before his election to the U.S. Senate in 2014, Sasse served as president of Midland University, a small Lutheran school in Nebraska.

Reichstag Fire Decree empowers police
An emergency decree following the burning of the Reichstag (German parliament) on February 27, 1933, grants the police almost unlimited power of arrest. This power is known as “protective custody.” View This Term in the Glossary In National Socialist terminology, protective custody means the arrest of potential opponents of the regime without benefit of a trial or judicial proceedings. Protective custody prisoners are confined not in the normal prison system but in concentration camps. These camps were initially established by the Storm Troopers (SA) and later came under the exclusive authority of the chief of the SS (the elite guard of the Nazi state).
And this has what to do with what, now?

Gawd bless Floriduh
Great pick by the University of Florida. Ben Sasse isn’t an election denier conspiracy theorist. Time for these kids to grow up.
I don’t understand. Do you disapprove of their protesting? In that case, shouldn’t you grow up? What could you possibly mean by “grow up?”
I know about Ben Sasse. He should not be A college President. I hope you can stop him for your university
Gives me a little hope to see the kids setting the stage for their future.
Love to see communities feel the same way and are finally banning together!
They don’t want him for left talking points. What does he have to do with abortion or you bring lgbtqia plus thought you were going to school to learn. Same students that will be asking for debt forgiveness. Get your education and roll please and thank you.
Spoiled brats.
