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.

“learn the hard way that the Left will seek to destroy whoever leads our cause.”
Everyone knows that. Strawman. It has always been that way and will ever be.
Many months ago my neighbor asked me why the media were attacking DeSantis so hard on COVID. I said, “Because they are terrified he will run for higher office.”
The judiciary is dangerous and out of control. They are like termites.
Terrific definition of lawfare.
“Why is a Federal Judge even involved in this?”
Because of the disaster at Appomattox.
I know you're being sarcastic but the truth is, in the million-to-one shot that Liz Cheney secured the GOP nomination, does anyone not doubt for a second that the left wouldn't be calling her a Nazi too?
As well as reminding everyone that her dad needs to be on trial in The Hague for war crimes.
And a few months ago, they loved both of them for being so brave!
Geez, 24 posts and nobldy looked it up: he’s a Clinton appointee.
All the court’s action means is that the lawsuit is to be heard, but it will not go the way of this liberal lawyer. DeSantis will prevail as he just did in another similar case.
You know. They are going to keep poking the bear until the
bear wakes up.
Then, all the F-15s in the world ain’t going to matter.

It’s absurd for DeSantis to expect prosecutors to uphold the law.
I stopped at “The Guardian”.
Utterly worthless.
Judge Hinkle is a Clinton appointee.
No Big Deal!
Our communist masters know that the pathetically servile and indolent Aamerican people will just continue to roll over and spread their collective cheeks...
yep, leftest website purposely written bad title to serve as click bait for moron leftist who now think DeSanis is on trial!
LMAO
“The closely watched case is expected to give clarity to DeSantis’s power to purge elected officials who disagree with him.”
He fired him because he said he was not going to enforce the law on abortion as he is required to do. Typical Yahoo news. Little progressive cub reporters trying to run with the big dogs NYT and CNN in creating false narratives.
That is the point. It is not going to stop with Trump. People need to get off this “I like Trump But” line. There is no but. It is vs them.
Hear, Hear! Trump is the Hill to Die On!
The headline is irresponsible.
But it’s the guardian, so no surprise.
Yep.
They have determined that the only way they can win is through cheating and Lawfare.
The emphasis on Lawfare.
With each passing day, I am growing to simply hate these people with a white hot burning passion.
