FL Gov, DeSantis suspends attorney for not enforcing abortion law, trans surgeries for minors

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) said on Thursday that  “effective immediately,” he is suspending leftist State Attorney Andrew Warren for refusing to uphold the state’s laws.

“State Attorneys have a duty to prosecute crimes as defined in Florida law, not to pick and choose which laws to enforce based on his personal agenda,” DeSantis said in a statement. “It is my duty to hold Florida’s elected officials to the highest standards for the people of Florida. I have the utmost trust that Judge Susan Lopez will lead the office through this transition and faithfully uphold the rule of law.”

It's hammer time!

A release from his office said that he has the legal authority to suspend Warren under Article IV, Section 7 of the Constitution of the State of Florida. In the lefties place he has appointed Susan Lopez, a woman who knows that she's a woman and can even define what a woman is, to serve as State Attorney for the period of suspension, which will hopefully be forever.

Lopez is the state attorney of the 13th Judicial Circuit. She stated that she has the “utmost respect for our state laws” and understands “the important role that the State Attorney plays in ensuring the safety of our community and the enforcement of our laws.”

So Lopez will intervene when, for instance, a 13-year-old girl decides she's a boy and elects to have her breasts removed and a fake penis to be constructed from her forearm.

Backed by numerous law enforcement and state officials, the governor argued in a Thursday press conference that Warren has repeatedly refused to enforce the state’s laws. [This seems to be a pattern with people having that surname.]

“The constitution of Florida has vested the veto power in the governor, not in state attorneys,” DeSantis said at the press conference. “We are not going to allow this pathogen of ignoring the law to get a foothold in the state of Florida.”

DeSantis' outspoken spokeswoman Christina Pushaw had teased the announcement on Wednesday evening, warning that the announcement would spark “the liberal media meltdown of the year.”

“Progressive prosecutors backed by Soros have refused to enforce laws across the country,” Pushaw said in a Thursday tweet. “They treat criminals with deference & victims with contempt. This dereliction of duty is why crime is surging. But @GovRonDeSantis won’t stand for this. He just suspended the one in Florida.”

Just yesterday, this writer was out on a boat with a liberal friend from Canada who only gets his news from CNN. He said he doesn't like DeSantis because he believes the governor is "crazy," to use his word. I  suspect that people who get their news from the Compromised News Network are clueless as to how levelheaded DeSantis really is.

If DeSantis is crazy, please explain how that's so, I asked him.
