A Florida prosecutor suspended by Ron DeSantis for defying a new 15-week abortion law says a federal judge’s decision to send his reinstatement appeal to trial means a reckoning is coming for the state’s Republican governor.
Andrew Warren, a Democrat, was removed as Hillsborough county state attorney on 4 August after saying he would not enforce the abortion ban or prosecute providers of gender transition treatment for young people.
DeSantis cited Warren’s alleged “woke agenda” in reasons for his decision.
At a hearing in Tallahassee on Monday, Judge Robert Hinkle denied motions from DeSantis to dismiss Warren’s lawsuit, and another by Warren seeking an immediate return to office, instead requesting their differences be settled at a trial in the coming weeks.
The closely watched case is expected to give clarity to DeSantis’s power to purge elected officials who disagree with him. In recent weeks, the governor has also removed four members of a school board in Broward county that defied him over Covid-19 mask mandates.

Banana republic style persecution.
The ruthless Communist bXstxrds protect one another in trying to destroy ever last one of the very best and the brightest and constructive and honorable people - the ones who speak truth when truth is forbidden in the vile, vicious, Fascist world that the Left has built under wraps of the word “Biden.” There is no subtly left with the Left. They know they have two years left to completely destroy the U.S. beyond repair. Anyone of whom the Left is afraid is of the true elite, meaning “best” - Trump, Bannon, DeSantis, Giuliani, Lindell, Flynn, etc. Trust we must that the evildoers will face the appropriate punishment for their evil plots and subterfuges.
Hahahahaha
I for one didn’t think DeSantis would get a pass by the communists. What I do expect is for DeSantis to fight back - that’s why I like him.
“:^|
Agreed...
I like Ron, but I’m not backing him for the top spot until
2028.
It’s looking more and more like that isn’t it.
“...the Left will seek to destroy whoever leads our cause.”
Trump is the focus of at least two prosecutors, the one in Atlanta is the proud daughter of a 60s era black panther, and of course the NY Attorney General ran for office on the platform of getting Trump and his family.
There is an active effort to disqualify from office anyone who had anything to do the the ‘violent insurrection’ at the Capitol and then we have FJB, who apparently has fond memories of a girl he met when he was 30, calling Trump supporters semi-fascists.
Were I a gay, minority, or tranny, I’d be offended by the token idiots chosen by the Biden clown show to represent their group. White-lady circle back Psaki was a lying obnoxious thing, but at least she was pretty darned sharp. Contrast that to the Butt-whatever, who couldn’t pass a third grade test on transportation, the present press secretary whose lies elicit laughs of pity, and finally, the VP who cannot string more than two words together without making a word salad.
The few gays I’ve known were darned sharp. And, oh yes, they were conservative.
It’s an issue, since some folks think Ron won’t have all the
negative baggage. Yeah, he will. The media will see to it.
Looking more and more like that.
They are going to go after him even harder because he is more rigidly right-wing than Trump. He is much tougher on things like “no mandates.”
I hear ya...
I like him too. That’s not the point.
Some folks are thinking he’s the guy to push in 2024, because
he doesn’t have the negative baggage Trump does.
He will. The media will see to that.
Trump 204. DeSantis 2028, 2032...
We have two guys who are willing and able to go after the
Leftists.
We have a potential of 12 years.
Should we opt for 8.
The Florida AG should bring state charges against judge Hinkle for interfering with state personnel matters and for seeking to require a state official to break a state law.
Did the lawyer/prosecutor guy defy the law? Did he work in the executive branch of the state of Florida?
Who is in charge of the executive branch in Florida? That’s right, the Governor. He could fire the entire bunch if he wanted to.
Juck fudges.
I hate to break it to the Guardian but this is long settled law. The Governor can remove a state official who does not enforce the law. This goes back to the 1930s when a few corrupt state officials had been paid off by mobsters. The governor fired them for refusing to enforce the law. The court upheld the governor’s power to do so.
One left wing political activist judge at the district court level isn’t going to be able to change that no matter his “ruling” (which the circuit court will promptly overturn).
