That prosecutor wasn't just refusing to his job, he was effectively saying 'my idea of what state law should be takes precedence over the ideas of the state's elected officials.'
He positioned himself as a little miniature autocrat. And he rightly got shut the fuck down for it.
Failed lawsuit said DeSantis "went too far", but he didn't go far enough.
The prosecutor should haven't just been fired, but also charged as an accessory with incitement to commit the crimes he said he wouldn't prosecute. A dozen illegal abortions, prosecutor gets a dozen counts as an accessory - that's what that prosecutor would do to his enemies.
Give him a plea deal for 5 years or else he can bankrupt himself defending dozens of cases facing 50 years if he loses a single one. Live by the sword, die by it.
Of course he was within his rights.

Yup. Fundamentally, he was talking about unilaterally having Hillsborough County secede from the state of Florida.
Would like to know who helped fund his lawsuit all the way up to the federal level.
PPFA.

Good riddance.
Good to see
Florida is doing fucking work. I'm both inspired and envious.
