Ron DeSantis wrongly suspended an elected state prosecutor last year after comments he made opposing abortion prosecutions. The three-judge panel of the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals heard oral arguments in an appeal filed by Andrew Warren in seeking to regain his job.

Florida has a 15-week abortion ban and DeSantis last month signed into law a ban on abortions after six weeks of pregnancy. DeSantis has used his executive po...
