A leftist prosecutor, supported by far-left billionaire activist George Soros, has lost his bid to be returned to his job while his court case over his suspension develops.
The former prosecutor, Andrew Warren, had been suspended by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis after he openly announced he would not do his job.
WND had reported only days ago that Warren “openly announced he would defy state law regarding child sex changes.”
DeSantis said Warren, who was the Hillsborough County state attorney, had “indicated his intent to refuse to enforce laws in state related to abortion and child transgender surgery.”
Just the News confirmed the governor said Warren’s suspension would begin immediately and he “potentially” could be “removed from office in the near future over his stated intention to ignore laws passed by the state.”
DeSantis linked Warren to Soros, the far-left billionaire who has created a campaign to personally fund the political campaigns of extremist prosecutors who advocate for progressive agendas such as the decriminalization of drugs and prostitution.
The governor explained Warren had “signed a letter saying that he would not enforce any prohibitions on sex change operations for minors.”
Warren also “signed a letter saying he would not enforce ANY laws relating to protecting the right to life in the state of Florida,” the governor added.
The governor confirmed that state prosecutors “have a duty to prosecute crimes as defined in Florida law, not to pick and choose which laws to enforce based on his personal agenda. It is my duty to hold Florida’s elected officials to the highest standards for the people of Florida.”
Now the Gateway Pundit revealed a Clinton-appointed federal judge rejected Warren’s demand to be reinstated while the court case develops.

Great news
Hope this sets the standard for prosecutorial performance nation wide
I love it with shysters with big mouths get their butts fired.
Yes!!!
The guy wanted to create the kind of hellhole Philadelphia’s become...or LA. Criminals rule, citizens stayed locked up in their homes.
DeSantis stopped this piece of human filth from doing that here. We have a fighter.
(George Soros is evil - but that’s for another day)
It was not just his refusal to prosecute certain crimes not yet before him but his failure to prosecute existing ones that raised the ire of local law enforcement and residents.
So far DeSantis has removed 2 board if election supervisors,1 Sheriff and 3 school board groomers. All Rats

Then an extravagantly well-funded liberal virtue-signalling festival of piling on began. As Jimmie Durante used to say, "Everyone wants to get into the act". A 15 page Amicus Brief was filed by a so-called group of former prosecutors, Attorneys General, judges, United States Attorneys and federal officials, current and former law enforcement officials, and leaders worried about the chilling effect of Warren's suspension on the right of prosecutorial discretion, here:

Next, a group calling itself "The Legal Scholars", describing itself as "115 legal scholars whose scholarship, teaching, and professional service focus on legal ethics, professional responsibility, and/or criminal procedure [and who have] collectively, ... authored hundreds of articles and casebooks and other writings on these subjects, ..." filed its own brief consisting of 15 pages of liberal legal fluff. Note: there must be a Local Rule limiting such briefs to 15 pages -- Thank God! See it here:

Finally, a group identifying as "members of Florida’s 1997-1998 Constitution Revision Commission and state constitutional law scholars" filed a 10 page brief. here:

Desantis filed a Motion to Dismiss, in part arguing that "Mr. Warren did not engage in constitutionally protected speech. The statements on which he relies were made “pursuant to [his] official duties,” and “the Constitution does not insulate [such] communications from employer discipline.” Garcetti v. Ceballos, 547 U.S. 410, 421 (2006). Nor was Mr. Warren even suspended for his speech; he was suspended for preemptively deciding not to enforce Florida laws with which he disagrees—conduct that receives no First Amendment protection." Desantis' Motion is here:

The Court deferred a ruling on Warren's motion for a preliminary injunction, but granted Desantis' motion to dismiss the Complaint's second Count, the state law Quo Warrento claim.
The Florida Constitution provides for the Florida Senate to review suspensions and removals from office, with the Senate able to reinstate the affected officeholder if it so chooses. So, what basis would a federal court have for getting involved? None that I can see.
Probably not. The state must grant the power to the governor to do this. If the power is in the state constitution then great, that power is in place. If state law provides for it then that is good as well. If neither is true then the prosecutor may have a good case to fight the suspension.
DeSantis stopped this piece of human filth from doing that here. We have a fighter.

Eventually this piece of human filth and others like him will have to be taken down hard, and I do mean hard. I can hardly wait!
