DeSantis suspends Tampa prosecutor who vowed not to criminalize abortion

Wasn't it Warren that refused to prosecute the George Floyd protesters in Tampa, however prosecuted some 120 protesters in the "Back the Blue" counter protest?

 

This is probably the most prominent example, but there are others too: Hillsborough State Attorney pledges not to press charges against abortion patients, doctors

 

No, its pretty much evenly split, with only slight edge for Dems.

On which issues?

Why would I lie about it? Don't project your behavior on others.

Whatever you say kiddo.

 

Oh so he made a statement on a law that is currently struck down by Florida courts? And he is following the Florida Constitution? Is that not his job?

 

LOL I notice you ignore all the actual facts I presented and resort to blah blah blah. You have been exposed as a democrat lefty socialist.

 

Yea, you too kiddo. Have a nice day.

No, he signed a letter saying that he would not prosecute any women regarding reproductive laws, which the Florida abortion law is still law. He is stating he will not enforce Florida state law.

Appeals court keeps Florida abortion law in effect

 

It's not even close at all. Unless you consider 55% Democrat to 45% Republican close? If'n the case, I guess the presidential election was WAY closer than you all thought!?

That is the most disgusting post I have ever read.

 

That is false.

Both of these links pretty much debunk your claim.

 

Let me put it to you this way, you can remove a district attorney who has shown, through actual court cases, that he failed in his duty. But outing someone because he signed a letter at a time when Roe v Wade was still in effect and was basically going against some GOP politicians who want to prosecute physicians and persons who even had an abortion in their state or elsewhere, is not a proper argument for dismissal.

 

It will pretty much go through one ear and out the other, some quicker than others.

 

Whatever makes you happy, but its considered one of the purple areas in Florida (with Dems having an edge). We got Red, Blue and Purple.

Warren won the job 50% to 49% in 2016 so I think that's pretty close, and then got reelected by a much wider margin so it seems people liked what he was doing. Anyway, DeSantis has nullified the election results, so its water under the bridge.

 

That is not what he said in the letter that he signed.

Or you should all the conservative sheriffs be fired and removed from office because they refuse to enforce any gun laws on the books?

 

do you seriously think the right will not try to ban abortions caused by rape?

 

Certainly not 50/50

340k Dem vs 280k Republicans then what's even crazier is they have 260k no affiliation voters.

 

This is about now not your future projections.

 

He signed a letter with his pledge to not enforce Florida law.

 

He stated why. Florida constitution doesn’t allow him to enforce it. Florida court agreed. Now we wait for the ruling from appeals court.

Is he required to follow the State Constitution or not?

 

If there is something in your links that proves a state attorney can reject laws duly passed by the legislature then quote it here. Your links seldom show what you claim.

 

He made a pledge to not passed laws passed by the Florida legislature along with several other issues he had presented, this was not singularly about abortion.

 

Sure, Dems have an edge, but they ARE a purple area in Florida, and the high number of independents actually helps explain it. Florida as whole has lot of independents which is why neither party can claim its solid red or blue. It can go either way.

 

Hmm not seeing in your links anything that says a prosecutor has the right to ignore prosecuting a law across the board. Can you point me to where your links say they can just ignore a law altogether? In the first link it sites some circumstances where a prosecutor can use discretion, but it says nothing about completely ignoring a law for all those who break it. I'm not reading 400 pages in your second link so maybe you can cite the page that says a prosecutor can ignore a law for everyone. I do agree though that circumstances can dictate discretion on a case by case basis.

 

What is the disgusting part? The typo where I left out the "not"?

Florida has a rape exception even though a rape victim can prevent herself from becoming pregnant but note once again you immediately throw the rape card as if all abortions are due to rape when it is only 1%. And abortion is NOT the only law this pro-abortion prosecutor had announced he would not enforce.

Do you believe it is up to a prosecutor to determine which laws the state will follow?

 

Not anymore. The middle parts have made this a red state.

Only those that were in direct violation of the Florida Constitution
