What is his plan for education? For jobs? For tax policy? He seems actively disinterested in those subjects.

In major case Edwards v. Vannoy the U.S. Supreme Court reaffirmed long-final Louisiana convictions for rape, murder, child molestation, and other violent crimes.

A 6-3 decision by the Court in Fulton v. Philadelphia ruled government cannot discriminate against faith-based adoption agencies.

In the case Mahanoy Area School District v. B.L., the Supreme Court – by an 8-1 vote – upheld Louisiana’s position that the First Amendment bars a public high school from taking disciplinary action against a student for off-campus speech that are neither threatening nor harassing. The Justices once again supported Attorney General Landry’s belief that students do not shed their constitutional rights to freedom of speech or expression, even at school.

In Alaska v. Sean Wright, Attorney General Landry led a bipartisan coalition of 20 states arguing that offenders who have finished serving their state court sentences lack standing to bring federal habeas claims regardless of any collateral consequences of the convictions, such as sex offender registry requirements. The Court agreed that a criminal who already served his time for sexual abuse of a minor cannot challenge those convictions while facing a new charge for failure to register as a sex offender.

In Rutledge v. Pharmaceutical Care Management Association, Attorney General Landry joined a legal brief arguing that states must regulate pharmacy benefit managers in order to protect the well-being of consumers. Since PBMs act as gatekeepers between pharmacies, drug manufactures, health insurance plans, and consumers for access to prescription drugs – regulation of them allows the states to improve the transparency of prescription drug marketplaces and protect consumer access to affordable prescription drugs, especially in rural and isolated communities. After the Supreme Court’s unanimous decision, Attorney General Landry pledged to continue fighting for lower drug costs for Louisiana’s patients and keep working to protect our State’s businesses and consumers unfair trade practices.

More victories include the 6-3 decision in Brnovich v. Democratic National Committee that reaffirmed the ability of states to administer secure elections with outcomes every voter can trust and the 6-3 decision in HollyFrontier Cheyenne Refining, LLC v. Renewable Fuels Association that restored small refiners’ exemptions from federal renewable fuel blending requirements.

The other wins were achieved in Dunn v. Reeves, Cedar Point Nursery v. Hassid, Guam v. United States, Ford Motor Co. v. Montana Eighth Judicial District Court, Trump v. New York, and Americans for Prosperity Foundation v. Bonta.

The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Monday declined to lift a lower court injunction barring the Biden administration from requiring federal contractors to ensure their workforces are fully vaccinated against COVID-19.

President Joe Biden first mandated the vaccinations in a September 2021 executive order, requiring government contracts to include a clause that both the contractor and any subcontractors be fully vaccinated against the virus.

The order did not include a testing option.

Attorney General Jeff Landry challenged the order in federal court, seeking to invalidate it alongside attorney generals in Indiana and Mississippi. In all, 22 states have filed or joined suits against the federal government in response to the contractor mandate.

The Biden administration's suspension of new oil and gas leases on federal land and water was blocked Tuesday by a federal judge in Louisiana, who ordered that plans be resumed for lease sales that were delayed for the Gulf of Mexico and Alaska.

U.S. District Judge Terry Doughty's ruling came in a lawsuit filed in March by Louisiana's Republican attorney general, Jeff Landry and officials in 12 other states. Doughty's ruling granting a preliminary injunction to those states said his order applies nationwide.

The 13 states said the administration bypassed comment periods and other bureaucratic steps required before such delays can be undertaken. Doughty heard arguments in the case last week in Lafayette.

The moratorium was imposed after Democratic President Joe Biden on Jan. 27 signed executive orders to fight climate change. The suit was filed in March. The states opposing the suspension said it was undertaken without the required comment periods and other bureaucratic steps.

In April, Landry led a 10-state coalition against the President's Executive Order 13990 which they say improperly and illegally changes the way federal decision-making is conducted.

In the press conference Tuesday, Landry says that they believe Biden overstepped with this executive order. He says the order is a "back-door" way of trying to put the social cost of carbon in place.

The social cost of carbon is the cost of the damages created by one extra ton of carbon dioxide emissions. According to Standford University, the Obama administration introduced the first estimated social cost of carbon at $43 a ton. The Trump administration estimate was $3–$5 a ton, and the Biden administration estimate is around $51 a ton.

With the injunction, Landry hopes to help lower the cost of goods, services and jobs he believes have been affected by the executive order.
