Gov. Ron DeSantis Suspends Lawless Soros-Backed State Attorney Andrew Warren

[el Jeffe]

Just heard about this. The fact that a governor can remove a democratically elected individual and appoint someone like that is scary.

Especially over public comments…

Freedom of speech for me not for thee.

Not nearly as scary as all the socialist democrats announcing BEFORE he took office that they would impeach Trump then spending 4 years trying to do so on allegations they fabricated and knew were lies.

 

[Sandman 423]

We don't take kindly to a guy who, right or wrong in a given instance, is clearly and repeatedly using his authority as Governor to pander to and, win brownie points with, a political base. Dem or GOP, doesn't matter. We just don't like being used in this patently obvious way.

So he shouldn't have suspended him?

Not nearly as scary as all the socialist democrats announcing BEFORE he took office that they would impeach Trump then spending 4 years trying to do so on allegations they fabricated and knew were lies.

Add to that a hostile media working with those same democrats to achieve those goals you laid out.

The MLK bust story on his 1st or 2nd day in the White House foreshadowed the 4 years ahead. Big grand falsehoods spread across major outlets, followed by really quiet and hidden retractions.

 

[Electric Orange]

Should've fired him and made him pay back all the wages that he didn't earn when he neglected to do his job.

And one rich guy shouldn't be bankrolling multiple DAs across the country. For either side. Enforce the laws non politically and consistently.

 

[lawgator1]

So he shouldn't have suspended him?

You don't get it. The issue is not whether he should or should not have. It is also not whether he can, or cannot, suspend the State Attorney.

It is that the reason he is doing it is to score political points with the GOP base to outflank Trump in a 2024 run. Its just blatantly obvious to everyone.

And I will add this: State Attorneys in Florida routinely make blanket orders to the prosecutors as to how to treat certain crimes. How to deal with probation, domestic violence, retail theft, drug crimes. They do that every day.

But DeSantis chimes in on this one?

Biden panders hard, this guy takes it to a new level. Literally everything he does is to garner attention and votes.

So, if he makes a claim that he won't prosecute certain crimes because he doesn't agree with them, it's okay then? Just so we're clear.

I would hate to think that my life had fallen so low that I would lower myself to this extent for money and power.

Sounds like they need to clean house.

For the third time, no, that is not the issue.

No you and your demented mind are the issue.

 

[lawgator1]

Sounds like they need to clean house.

Wherever you live in this country, I guarantee you that the chief prosecutor has discretion as to policy for his or her office on how to address certain issues or crimes. If you don't like their policy, you vote them out of office.

A governor substituting his judgment for that of local control, especially for political gain, is bad policy.


Don't you guys always says when you don't like something done by the feds that the state should decide for themselves? Same here.

Did he refuse to uphold laws? Did the governor have the authority?

Yes? Then, is it pandering to do your job and protect Floridians the way he feels morally obligated to? You call it pandering except when your side does it, then you say…. “Elections have consequences” or “I have a pen”.

For an attorney, you sure can’t debate very well

 

[VolStrom]

For the third time, no, that is not the issue.

So, even though he is being suspended for not prosecuting crimes, in your mind it is only political, kind of like the Jan 6th commission?

Lots of similarities between DeSantis and the J6 committee huh?

 

[lawgator1]

Bottom line: you stomp your feet about local autonomy as between the federal government and the states. But when you like the state actor's politics, you are fine with him trumping the will of the local voters in suspending someone whose discretion was exercised in a way you don't like.

That’s American!!! We do it and I’m thankful for our forefathers and soldiers for all they did so we can.

I think I get it pretty well. Why did the prosecutor announce that he wasn't going to follow the law? Is that not blatantly obvious?

Now if you are saying that you believe that he should have suspended him, but not make a big show of it, I'm with you.

Gov. Ron DeSantis Suspends Lawless Soros-Backed State Attorney Andrew Warren

Governor Ron DeSantis has taken a pro-active stance to protect the citizens of Florida from rogue prosecutors who are picking and choosing which laws to enforce, often openly doing so in the name of “social justice”. Late this morning, with numerous law enforcement representatives including the well-known Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd, Governor DeSantis announced, effective immediately, the suspension of State Attorney Andrew Warren of Florida’s 13th Judicial District.
After the lawlessness that has been documented throughout many major cities across the United States over the last couple of years, including by The Gateway Pundit, Ron DeSantis took the initiative earlier this year of asking staff to ensure it would not happen in the State of Florida. They were tasked with speaking with “law enforcement and line prosecutors throughout the state”. According to Governor DeSantis, it all led back to the 13th Judicial Circuit in Hillsboro County, where law enforcement has been frustrated by criminals being let go and crimes not being prosecuted.


Gov. DeSantis stated, “We’ve seen across this country over the last few years, individual prosecutors take it upon themselves to determine which laws they like and will enforce, and which laws they don’t like and won’t enforce. The results of this in cities like Los Angeles and San Francisco have been catastrophic. You can go in [a store] in San Francisco and steal a certain amount of merchandise and by definition you would not be prosecuted…”
Gov. DeSantis continued: “Those who say this represents social justice, look at San Francisco. They had to recall this prosecutor who was funded by people like George Soros, saying he’s not going to prosecute. They did the recall election and he was recalled, even in a very liberal jurisdiction. But, the places that voted to keep him were the affluent communities who are not bearing the brunt of the policies. The places that voted to recall him are the working class communities, because they bear the burden of ignorance and refusal to enforce the law.”

In June 2021, State Attorney Warren signed a letter that said he would not enforce a prohibition on any sex change operations for minors.
According to Gov. DeSantis “Warren said that it doesn’t matter what the legislature does in the state of Florida. He is going to exercise a veto over that. He’s also instituted policies of ‘presumptive non-enforcement’…that is not consistent with the role of a prosecutor. You can exercise discretion in individual case, but that discretion has to be individualized and case specific. Most recently…after Dobbs…he signed a letter saying he would not enforce ANY laws relating to the protecting the right to life in the State of Florida. Mind you, we have had prohibitions on third trimester abortions for a long time. We’ve had prohibitions on partial birth abortions for a long time, and then most recently, the legislature enacted, and I signed protections for unborn babies at three and a half months. When they are aborted, its typically done through a dismemberment procedure, which is really inhumane.”

See? THIS is what I like about DeSantis. Its not just your usual political bluster "I promise to do this and such for you constituents". No, he sticks a dagger into a liberal weak point and points to it as the bile gushes out.

He understands the mechanics of brass knuckle politics and where to strike to be effective, not merely pandering. I just wish he was better at the Regan smile or the Clinton chuckle while slipping in the shiv.

 

[LouderVol]

And still isn’t as good at it, go figure

Lol. Biden flopped on a bunch of stuff to pander.

Oil. Student loans. Guns. Any one of those are far bigger issues than suspending someone under his office for not doing their job.

Do you think the people complaining about Desantis doing this would complain if Newsom did the same to a conservative DA in California who wasn't upholding state law? Nope.

The issue is the state AG can be tossed for not enforcing state law. This isn't controversial. I don't like these laws or DeSantis. But this isn't controversial

Lol, absolutely not
