Quick Glance: Judge: DeSantis violated the state Constitution and the First Amendment by firing the state attorney general.
- When Ron DeSantis suspended Hillsborough State Attorney Andrew Warren last year, he violated the Florida Constitution and the First Amendment, according to a federal judge who ruled Friday that he lacked the authority to reinstate Warren.
- DeSantis suspended Warren, according to U.S. District Judge Robert L. Hinkle, because the state attorney had blanket policies not to prosecute certain types of cases.
- "The assertion that Mr. Warren neglected his duty or was incompetent is incorrect," Hinkle wrote.
- "If the facts matter," Hinkle wrote, "the governor can simply rescind the suspension."
