TL;DR Summary

A federal appeals court heard arguments on Tuesday from a lawyer representing Andrew Warren, a Florida prosecutor who was indefinitely suspended by Governor Ron DeSantis over his pledge not to prosecute people seeking or providing abortions. Warren's lawyer argued that the suspension violated his client's right to free speech under the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and subverted the will of the voters who elected him. The case is being closely watched as it could have implications for other prosecutors who have pledged not to enforce restrictive abortion laws.
