DeSantis suspends Tampa prosecutor who vowed not to criminalize abortion

Tell DJT that, would you next time.

 

I don't believe your post accurately captures the position of even a single Florida sheriff. Who has said "they don't want to enforce ANY gun law on the books?"

 

There are no exceptions as far as I'm concerned. Lawlessness leads to chaos.

 

Does this mean you agree with me?

 

if dems suspended all repub elected prosecutors in their State, I think you would see the issue

 

an elected official needs to be recalled, otherwise we would have suspended Trump early in his Presidency

 

Do they have Republican prosecutors in democratic States?

 

I guess Florida law allows the Governor to suspend him.

 

It's not just abortion, and if the suspended prosecutor feels he was treated unjustly he is free to litigate it or force a trial in the state senate.

“We are going to make sure our laws are enforced and no individual prosecutor puts himself above the law.”

Rogue Soros Prosecutor Thinks He's Above The Law.​

But, now he is suspended, so, perhaps he is entertaining some doubts about his ability to put himself and his views above the Law.

Hillsborough County Sheriff Chad Chronister lauded DeSantis’ action Thursday, asserting that Warren was selectively prosecuting cases.

George Soros vows he won’t stop backing woke DAs despite urban crime spikes
​

"In once case, Chronister said, Warren’s office declined to charge a gang member who shot one person and then fired into a home filled with women and children where the victim had fled."

Had nothing to do with abortion.

"One of the women, the sheriff said, now lives in a motel because she fears returning to the house with the shooter still on the streets and feels “as though her status as a victim doesn’t matter and the state attorney simply does not care.”'

It doesn't matter to this rogue prosecutor, he believes he occupies a higher moral plane and that she is acceptable collateral damage while he implements the end of incarceration to bring about "utopia".

He'll need to take his mad schemes to someplace other than Florida.

​

"Chronister accused Warren of acting as a “supreme authority” by “reducing charges, dropping cases and single-handedly determining what crimes will be legal or illegal in our county,” a criticism DeSantis echoed Thursday."

This rogue Soros Prosecutor is not the supreme authority, a knowledge, that in light of his suspension, might be sinking in a bit.

​

“Our government is a government of laws, not a government of men,” the governor said, adding: “When you’re not enforcing certain laws that you don’t like, that’s neglect of duty. That is incompetence as defined in Florida law.”

With so many educated leftists operationally ignorant of Separation of Powers that undergirds our Constitutional Liberal Democracy, perhaps we should required a remedial course in The Separation of Powers for all college graduates of institutions assisted by the taxpayer.

The once high and mighty prosecutor is now reduced to seething on social media.

Law Enforcement details lawlessness of the Rogue Prosecutor.​

“In Florida, we #BackTheBlue, #FundThePolice and take strong action to defend the rule of law from those who seek to undermine it. @GovRonDeSantis takes very seriously his constitutional responsibility to ensure our laws are faithfully executed.” ~ Florida Attorney general Ashley Moody.

“Our Governor has an obligation to protect the public and ensure the enforcement of the law. I applaud @GovRonDeSantis for suspending a state attorney who put politics above duty. No individual prosecutor is above the law in Florida.”

Why haven't more governors suspended these rogue Soros prosecutors that refuse to charge felonies and engage in no-bail catch-and-release that has been leaving a river of innocent blood running in its wake? How come it's only DeSantis that takes the obvious remedial action? Thank goodness someone is, but, this isn't rocket science.

And this woke clown has multiple avenues of recourse:

"Under Florida law, Warren can challenge his suspension and force a trial by the state Senate, which can then vote to either reinstate him or remove him. He can also appeal DeSantis’ action in court. "

 

If they have gone rogue, suspend them. I don't give a damn what party they belong to.

 

Why wouldn't they? Its not a political position. Well, it was not political until DeSantis made it so.

Prosecutors have the right to set their priorities, and putting women in prison for having abortions should be very low priority, but apparently its top priority in DeSantis culture wars. Prosecutors could be putting people in prison for smoking pot too, but many counties in Florida just hand out tickets.

 

nope, up to the Governor now, just suspend them... this prosecutor did nothing wrong

 

If they are elected then it's a political position.

 

No, that does not make it political. Sheriffs, judges and school board folks are also elected but that does not mean they are political positions.

 

I'm having trouble maintaining my patience continuing this with you when you make silly statements like this.

 

You are not backing the blue, you are backing the political position. Like another poster said, the conservative sheriff in Washington State who does not want to enforce state or federal gun laws on the books were to be suspended, you guys would be up in arms despite the number of people in blue that would agree with the decision.

However, in this case, with chief prosecutor Warren, nothing is warranted because it was not based on actual cases. This is a fact, not opinion. And if DeSantis can get away with this, then what happens to a civilian employee who publicly criticizes the governor for his political decisions, then that person could also be removed. That is not America, that is Nazism, Stalinism, Authoritiarianism.

 

The difference is this prosecutor went beyond disagreement. He signed a letter with other prosecutors saying he would not enforce the law.

 

Just because one is appointed or one is elected does not make the position political automatically, especially in law enforcement. Chief Prosecutors, everywhere in this country, state and federal, have the option of not prosecuting certain specific cases. There are ethics, legal administrative statutes and regulations, and so forth to allow this.

DeSantis had two options, to call out the chief prosecutor stating that nothing in the recent abortion bill calls for arrests and that the precious laws are null and void, or did what he did. The problem with choosing the latter is that it stopped being a legal issue and DeSantis intentionally made it a political issue where it should not have.

 

How was that? Is there an actual case that proves that point? That would have to be the case if your argument is true.

Otherwise, it is still political disagreement.

 

Tell me. Were the latest SC appointments political or not?

 

Fake news. The suspended prosecutor is free to litigate with the Court and/or force a Senate trial on the matter. Just as this rogue Soros prosecutor is accountable to DeSantis, so DeSantis is accountable to the Court and the Senate. Like I said, some Lefties seem a little brain numb on the whole Separation of Powers concept that undergirds American Constitutional Liberal Democracy. I think that remedial course on this should be mandatory for college graduates from institutions that receive any form of taxpayer assistance. It's not helpful that these supposedly educated Leftists are completely ignorant on it.

 

You find facts silly to a point where you lose patience. Weird.

 

Fake news. When the Blue is acting lawfully, I support them.

I'm backing properly legislated policy.

No one is compelled to enforce an unconstitutional law. If this Rogue Soros' clown wants to make that argument, he is free to make it in either the Court or the Senate, or both.

 

I think putting his signature on a letter announcing his intention is enough to remove him before a case comes up. Why wait? Do you think he was lying when he signed the letter?

 

When you learn the difference between a fact and an opinion get back to me.
