@ Amy > “I wonder if his wife Casey, a former news and television host, has coached him a bit. Or maybe he really is getting happier!”

Last year, he was very concerned because of her health, but she was pronounced cancer free in March this year. I think that would free up his emotions quite a bit.

In addition to the work and being with his family on Christmas, DeSantis also was doing something else this week that they don’t care about either. He was taking his wife to cancer treatment. Yes, they’re attacking a family who is having to deal with a serious medical illness.

This is the bell I rang for my final Chemo Treatment. It is now happily the property of the Governor’s Mansion (as are the wonderful motivational and inspirational books we’ve been sent along the way, thank you). Hopefully, their display will symbolize hope, humility and faith.

And another update March 3, linking a video where Governor DeSantis announces the good news about her remission.

There are no words to express how truly blessed, grateful and humbled I am to hear the words cancer free. To those who are in the fight, know there is hope. Have faith and stay strong.

Speaking of “best governor since Reagan,” I’ve noticed that DeSantis is smiling a lot more lately in a way that reminds me a lot of Reagan. Check out some of his most recent appearances, like on Tucker last night – big smile with twinkling eyes, like he’s really enjoying himself. A happy warrior! He used to be more boring to watch, sort of earnest and dull. I wonder if his wife Casey, a former news and television host, has coached him a bit. Or maybe he really is getting happier!

I’m curious whether Abbott has the power under Texas law to remove a prosecutor. All I know about the process so far is what I learned when we were looking into removing an awful prosecutor in my county several years ago, after she quarreled with the police department in the county’s main city and refused to prosecute any cases brought by its officers. We concluded that the barriers to removing an elected County Attorney (which in this county is the only prosecutor) were basically insurmountable, but that was in part because we lacked majority support on the county Commissioners Court. Nor is there a recall process for County Attorneys under Texas law. Instead, we put up a competing candidate, who won 75/25 in the 2020 election.

Certainly Abbott has not yet tried to remove any of the Soros-style prosecutors in the big blue Texas cities.

DeSantis apparently can suspend a state attorney, then has to get a confirmation from the state senate.

Get ready folks; in a few short years if/when DeSantis begins a push for national office (e.g. president), he will be labeled by the MSM and demokrats
as Adolph Hitler II.
Get ready for media types to begin dumpster diving (as they did with Sarah Palin) seeking trash on DeSantis. They will go back 65 years seeking dirt on him, even though he is only about 45 now.

Because his personality is non-abrasive, unlike DT’s , he will present a much greater threat to the demokrat power structure in Washington; and they know it.
If anyone thinks the campaign to dethrone DT was vicious, just wait till DeSantis makes a bid for president.

And let’s hope DT and DeSantis do not face off for the upcoming presidential race.

The pessimist in me worries that the suspension may not stick. Would a court case start near the bottom level and work its way up?

The situation in Florida is kind of unique. The governor’s office has wide latitude to deal with rogue officials by way of suspension, and is on solid legal ground. Rogue mayors and sheriffs have been suspended over the years.

The prosecutor in question has put much of this in writing, so he doesn’t have a lot of plausible deniability.

ObloodyHell (5:01 pm) proclaimeth:

“DeSantis is the ‘non-Trump’ front-runner for 2024 because all indications are that he’s Trump without the blowhard and braggadocio.”

B – U – L – L – S – E – Y – E ! !

(And without the unforced errors, and without so much that was, for me, cringe-worthy.)

Neo, whether Abbott could suspend the prosecutors in Texas depends on whether the governor has that power under Texas law.

The suspension removes the prosecutor from power entirely for however long it lasts, it doesn’t apply to a particular case or group of cases. Again, how long the suspension lasts and how it is resolved depends on the law of the particular state.

As Lincoln said of Grant, that man fights.

RHINOs are always (?) looking for the right time to fight, and the right battle, but alas, never find either.
