So whatever.

He was physically removed from his office, escorted out by the sheriff — couldn't take any documents — and immediately replaced. Erased from the position.

This is how it's done, no matter your complaints.

Basically it says that The Governor can SUSPEND the State Atty, after which it is up to THE STATE to remove and or arrest him if necessary.

It was a long read, which is why I suspect some other long term freepers are just getting cranky in their old age.

I thought we here are FR tried to be supportive. Come on guys and gals, are we destined to destroy ourselves (FR) from within ?

I don ‘t support that.

See, all we need to do is use the law, not cower away from it because some liberals might get upset.

Several years ago, the FL governor suspended the Broward County elections supervisor. IIRC, the FL senate had to vote the elevate this via an on the record vote to actually fire the official. It's nice to have a republican senate combined with a governor with a very strong and loud bully pulpit to ram this kind of decisive action through.

Feel free to fix this description if I have not described this well.

So.... you are saying YOU took the time to read it (took me about 10 minutes), but don’t have the 60 seconds it would take to answer another poster’s question ?

Or is this just “RUDE TO RANDOM POSTER’S DAY” on FR ?

Yup, that’s my Gov’ner. Long may he stay in Florida!

Haha! I know, it’s been hot here in NE Florida but several years ago I just started getting my yard done by writing a check... Money well spent in summer, here.

OK fine.

The order says, “suspended without pay”, to answer your question.

Removal is an act of the Legislature.

I have no idea what you are talking about. I would be happy to answer any questions.

I presume he is still being paid

Another one who didn't read the order.

No, he's not being paid.

FANTASTIC!!!!!!

We, in Florida, live here for a reason. OK, lots of them. Desantis is a big one!

Mike Waltz replaced him in Congress. The jury’s still out on him. We jad high hopes. But he’s full Neocon on endless wars, especially Ukraine. Junkets and all. And gets serious $$$ from defense contractors.

I won’t be voting for Waltz again. And I campaigned for him last run, and the previous one. Never again.

Not just that...police say he was problematic for failing to prosecute some crimes, and I doubt they are referring to the trans crap.

“So what laws was he not enforcing?”

Hopefully other states have the same thing in their constitutions and the govs can start getting rid of the Soros acolytes.

Law enforcement officials had very nice things to say about the suspended State Atty:

“Andrew Warren is a fraud,” former Tampa police Chief Brian Dugan said. “This is a terrible day, that the governor had to come and clean up our mess.”

Hillsborough County Sheriff Chad Chronister said police have had long-running frustrations with Warren for not prosecuting particular cases.

“I continue to work with my law enforcement counterparts who
privately are frustrated with the state attorney, who seems
intently focused on empathy for criminals and less interested in
pursuing justice for crime victims,” Chronister said Thursday.

So is this guy one of these SOROS elected scum coming up through the ranks is a state attorney different than a DA?? GO DeSantis I really wish DeSantis was down on the border in Texas that damn border would be shut down AND all of the millions of dollars in supplies for that wall sitting there rusting away would be being used to build the damn wall!! DeSants is a GREAT Governor I envy the people of Florida WHY IN THE HELL can’t the rest of our SQUISH Republican governors follow his example!! I KNOW Kari Lake will also be a Governor in the DeSantis mold the good people of Texas had the chance to get rid of Abbott for a true fighter but chose not to SUCH A SHAME a chance wasted!

Exactly, the state Senate is the only one that can relieve an elected official from their duties. Makes sense, you wouldn’t want just one person in an executive position to be able to fire an official that the people voted in.
