DeSantis high court majority: DeSantis can easily oust people’s elected prosecutors
The seven-justice, all-Republican-appointee Florida Supreme Court, including five Ron DeSantis appointees, expanded DeSantis’s power to overturn the will of the voters.

“…On a 6-1 vote Thursday, the Florida Supreme Court gave its governor all-but-unfettered power to remove locally elected prosecutors — a power that could quickly render Floridians’ “freedom” to “vote” for a prosecutor a fiction unless federal courts step in.

It is not the first Florida Supreme Court case examining the governor’s power to restrict elected prosecutors. And yet, Thursday’s decision — in light of the weakness of Gov. Ron DeSantis’s order suspending Monique Worrell from office as the state attorney for Orange and Osceola counties — is stunning for both its scope and potential consequences.”
