I don't see "The Governor doesn't like your application of prosecutorial discretion" covered by that statute. EO is illegal.
Are you a Florida lawyer?
Nope. Episcopal Priest, and a native Floridian who nerds out on State Government.
Looks like broad grant of authority to the governor. States generally have significant authority to preempt local decisions
(Not a Florida lawyer)
I mean, it requires the governor give "good and sufficient reason." Unless mere recitation is enough, not sure this does that.
One would think a "good and sufficient reason" is more than "I don't like her decision."
Otherwise what's to prevent governor from removing DA from any/every case at whim, preempting local authority.
That was my original point. States are pretty free to preempt local authority barring strong home rule precedent
now you sound like Prof. Priest or Ellickson :)
DA a little different than typical home rule situation. Broad tradition of *local prosecution even in states w central authority
FL atty, @adamtebrugge isn't convinced the Gov hasn't overstepped. #WoahDoubleNegativehttps://twitter.com/adamtebrugge/status/842504032488996864 …
