A federal appeals court has vacated a trial court decision that allowed Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to indefinitely suspend a state prosecutor who vowed not to enforce the restrictions on abortion or a potential law prohibiting transgender medical procedures for children.
The Democrat prosecutor, Andrew Warren, has accused the Republican governor of violating his First Amendment rights and illegally overriding the will of voters who re-elected him in 2020. On the other hand, the state argued that Mr. Warren’s suspension was solely based on his performance in office, not his speech.
