DeSantis suspends Democrat "Soros-backed" state attorney Andrew Warren for refusing to enforce state laws, including recent restrictions to abortion

[SassyIrishLass]

Nope, the folks on the left are just a big a flaming hypocrites as you all on the right.

two sides, one coin

I notice you used the scenario for the leftist twist... you all on the left are so transparent

 

[Harpy Eagle]

We are talking about Fl. and not Ky, right?
The gun rights is a protected right in Florida last I heard, anyways.
The state Attorney for FLORIDA was not upholding the state laws and was suspended.

This is the comment I responded to.....

.It's ridiculous for someone connected with the law to determine on their own which laws they will enforce and which ones they won't.

Are there any qualifies in that statement bout what state or what law is in question?

A simple yes or no will suffice if you have it in you

The clerk from KY was a leftist ?

 

[Independent thinker]

Interesting. There have been a good number of stories out there about Sheriffs and other law enforcement officials and others stating they would not enforce gun laws they did not agree with....and nobody that I can recall on the right had any issues with that at all.

I'm against any law enforcement agency from not enforcing the laws they are supposed to enforce. If they don't like the laws in that state then they should look for work in another state.

No, I said YOU used it as the leftist angle to try and bolster your weak position.

It was doomed before you started

The video mentioned nothing about abortion laws in Hillsboro County Florida. Why did you?

This is another incidence, like in New York, where the DA has his own subset of what crimes on the books will be enforced and which ones will not. The example give, was a violent crime by a witness identified suspect in a shooting situation, where the States Attorney would not prosecute, simply because depositions would be lengthy and require too much work. I guess he only likes slam dunk cases, without regard to victims rights of protection under the state laws of Florida.

The first indication of fascism taking over is in the banning of abortions. Don't you see what's happening in your country and is being applauded by extreme rightists?

Not true. Abortion is very common in virtually all fascist regimes. China performs more abortions per capita than any other country on earth. Cuba, the former USSR, North Korea, etc. are all not far behind.

So, if a state or town passes a very restrictive gun law, you think the police should either enforce it or quit?

Republicans and DeSantis yet again demonstrate their contempt for democratic representation.

Are we permitted to talk about the fact that a ban on abortion is a move toward extreme right fascism?

That would be the issue here.

 

[Marener]

Huh?

Correct me if I’m wrong but Andrew Warren was elected Nov 2020 by the people of his county in a free and fair election.

And now that choice is being taken away from the people.

He was suspended for not doing what he was elected to do. Just because he was elected doesn't mean he gets to pick and choose what laws he's to enforce

Isn't this thread about DeSantis suspending Warren for not enforcing state laws?

But, Warren is refusing to enforce the laws of Florida, that is what he vowed to do.
Do you think this would even be an issue if he was enforcing the laws of the State?

The electorate gets to decide if he’s not doing what they elected him to do.

Prosecutorial discretion is a long-standing principle in our justice system.

Gun laws that are, or aren't protected by the Second Amendment?

I think your argument is more like apples and oranges

maybe, but has it happened?

'No' Sheriff in Town: Some Lawmen Refuse to Enforce Federal Gun Laws

A growing numbers of sheriffs are saying they won't heed U.S. restrictions on guns, saying they violate constitutional guarantees.

www.nbcnews.com

“State police and highway patrol get their orders from the governor,” the sheriff said. “I get my orders from the citizens in this county.”
----------
is it still not enforcing laws you find objectionable or against your core tenant? if the point is "well they are defending the constitution" - great. a large part of me agrees and would WANT to do this. but we yell at the left all the for basically the same thing. just for different outcomes and motivations.

i am glad desantis did this. i view soros as a huge "threat to democracy"; but when our battlecrys are the same and motivations different, well then that does look like a civil war and may the best side win.

in this case, the one closest to the constitution in practice, not lip service.
