    A Florida prosecutor is suing Gov. Ron DeSantis for removing him from
    office.

    The state attorney from Tampa, Andrew Warren, was ousted earlier this
    month by DeSantis. The Republican governor said he acted because of
    statements Warren had signed pledging not to prosecute people for
    violating abortion restrictions or a law prohibiting gender-affirming
    care for minors.

    Warren filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court, saying that the governor violated his First Amendment right to freedom of speech. Although he
    spoke in favor of abortion rights and gender-affirming medical care,
    Warren had not taken any action on those issues and his office had no
    cases pending. Warren was twice elected as state attorney, and Warren
    says DeSantis violated his right to freedom of speech and by his actions overturned an election.

    Signing that pledge may be his undoing... He later explained that what he meant, was that each case would be adjudicated on a case by case basis, with medical input included.... I think his best shot, is claiming that the Governor, is attempting to
    change election results....
