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

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

There is no law that allows him to do it. The last moron governor tried the samething and got his ass handed to him. That SA will keep right on doing his job while the current moron governor watches it helplessly happen.

BTW, that should be "same thing".

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

We have a decade worth of sheriffs refusing to enforce laws and have seen no examples of authoritarians removing them from office.

Maybe Washington's constitution and laws are so fucked up that he does not have the power.

 

[struth]

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 have no problem with a sheriff saying they won’t enforce federal gun laws

 

[struth]

This was the statement....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.

No qualifiers mentioned

Then there was the clerk in KY that refused to give same sex couples marriage license and she was hailed as a hero by the right. But I know, that is different also.

no at all she was punished for it

Forget democracy: Florida governors just oust the local elected officials they dislike | Commentary

First, Rick Scott removed Broward Elections chief Brenda Snipes from office. Then Ron DeSantis suspended Broward Sheriff Scott Israel. Now, DeSantis has suspended Palm Beach elections chief Susan B…

Apparently in Florida the Governor can just fire elected officials if he wants to

WTF

Since the Constitution says that the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed the sheriff would actually be violating the highest law in the land to enforce infringement.

We call it having a conscience. If you know something is wrong, you don't enforce it. Conscientious objection.

Gun laws are protected by the 2nd Amendment. Abortion by none. Zero. No amount of mental gymnastics will help you.

So who has more legal standing to object?

Actually the 2A mentions that right in regards to a well regulated militia

Only the ones that refuse to do the job they were elected to do.

Without this power elected officials could get away with anything, couldn't they? All states have this power for the Governor. Other governors are just too chickenshit to use it.

to do Consicentious objection you have to have a conscience.

anyone who says its OK to murder children obviously does not

 

[bripat9643]

LOL. Retard. He can only be suspended. DeSantis does not have the authority to kick him out. Try to keep up.

If he is suspended until his term runs out, what's the difference?

 

[TemplarKormac]

Thus why I tried to delineate between those who object over gun laws an those who do so for abortion.

 

[bripat9643]

What DeSantis is proposing is fascism. The Republican Party is promoting overturning election results they don't like, and stripping Democratic voters of their right to vote. That's the very definition of fascism.

You delusions are showing.

 

[bripat9643]

Where an illegal order is issued, it should be disobeyed. Arresting doctors providing reproductive care to women, is both immoral and illegal. Unconstitutional legislation should not be enforced, because women's lives are at risk.

DeSantis has lost his mind, and needs to be recalled as a danger to himself and others.

The turd didn't even try to argue that the laws he didn't want to enforce were unconstitutional, dingbat.

There's no "only" in that law.

It's entirely at the discretion of the Governor...

 

[TemplarKormac]

Golfing Gator can laugh all he wants to. It's practically all the argument he has at this point.

He doesn't understand that "I'm just following orders" has been used an excuse to commit many injustices in our world.

There's something to be said for those who demand blind loyalty to an institution without considering the consequences.

 

[TemplarKormac]

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

two sides, one coin

Actually not. The Sheriffs have plenty of legal standing to refuse enforcing gun laws. Supreme Court precedent. Constitutional precedent.

The DA's are acting on an agenda had have no righteous reasons for refusing to enforce the laws of their state. The Supreme Court, which had been venerated and held sacrosanct by people like you, ruled the states had the sole power to regulate abortion. When Florida chose to do just that, the DA's rebelled. They have no standing to, morally or legally.

 

[TemplarKormac]

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

Yes. One or the other. Why is that such a difficult concept for you to grasp? These people are not mindless automatons.

DeSantis makes MAJOR announcement suspending Soros-backed, social justice-obsessed 13th circuit state attorney Andrew Warren

Don't take this question to mean anything other than curiosity, but does DeSantis have the authority to do such a thing?

Different fact scenario.

State officials are not required to enforce federal law.
