Florida Supreme Court rules for DeSantis

High Court Sides with DeSantis on Soros-Backed Prosecutor’s Removal

"In a landmark decision, the Florida Supreme Court has affirmed Governor Ron DeSantis’ controversial removal of a prosecutor backed by billionaire George Soros.

This ruling marks a significant victory for DeSantis, underscoring his commitment to law and order while highlighting the ongoing political battle over prosecutorial discretion and accountability.

Governor DeSantis had removed the prosecutor, Andrew Warren, citing dereliction of duty and failure to enforce state laws. Warren, a state attorney for Florida’s 13th Judicial Circuit, had been supported by Soros through substantial campaign contributions, aligning him with a progressive agenda that has faced increasing scrutiny from conservative circles."
