what does that even mean, nothing has changed legally.

The city has said all along they had the authority to do this. Landrieu has essentially mocked his opponents about this. Now all of a sudden, they are admitting that they "might" be a problem.

There might not be a problem. This issue may get resolved shortly and the teardown can continue.

Or this could turn into litigation.

In any event... the correct course of action here given the "possibility" of a problem is to issue the TRO and figure out out. Essentially, the city has bailed out Judge Reese here.

For you to say anything else is completely ignorant.

Edit: In case I'm not clear enough. I'm not saying city park / monumental task force is in any way correct. But they have raised enough questions that this should not have been so quickly dismissed by the judge. We've waited a year and a half here, what's another month? That's my issue with the judge.

They have yet to say in anyway there might be a problem. Why can't you understand this?

An Orleans Parish Civil District Court judge ruled Wednesday that the city of New Orleans owns all of City Park and can move forward with the removal of the P.G.T. Beauregard monument.

quote:

The ruling came days after a pro-Confederate monument group held a news conference to announce that it believed the board that governs City Park, and not the city, owns the monument at the entrance of the park.

quote:

Reese denied the injunction, which would have stopped the removal of the monument until it was determined who owned the monument. He said a previous state Supreme Court case on Audubon Park also determined that the city owns all of City Park.

So why the 30 day delay?
