A Florida judge is upholding the DeSantis administration’s decision to suspend a woke state prosecutor whom the governor said had neglected his duty.
DeSantis announced the suspension of State Attorney Andrew Warren following a growing emergence of woke prosecutors across the country, whom the governor said are effectively nullifying laws with selective enforcement, worsening the crime issue across the country. After a requested examination of this trend in the Sunshine State, the administration zeroed in on the Thirteenth Judicial Circuit in Hillsborough County, which had State Attorney Andrew Warren at the helm.
During the announcement in August, DeSantis provided examples of Warren’s failure to enforce the law, “from refusing to enforce any prohibitions on sex change operations for minors, regardless of action from the legislature, to asserting that he would not enforce any laws relating to protecting the right to life in the Sunshine State,” as Breitbart NewsSuspended Hillsborough County State Attorney Andrew Warren leaves a news conference, Wednesday, August 17, 2022, in Tallahassee, Florida.
“The constitution of Florida has vested the veto power in the governor, not in individual state attorneys, and so when you flagrantly violate your oath of office, when you make yourself above the law, you have violated your duty,” the governor said, explaining that Warren cannot put himself above the legislature’s actions and refuse to enforce laws he does not personally find suitable.
