The statement still stands. Widespread noncompliance from parish sheriffs would effectively make any law nonexistent. There aren't enough state LEOs to make a dent.
Not that it will happen, I'm just saying this as a hypothetical.

No, he's not. What limits him is the reaction from the larger population to his counter. If he goes too heavy-handedly (let's say he calls up a few hundred National Guard as a lockdown for all of the parish roads and businesses or sends the State Police in to block off the courthouses/city halls as a show of force, as examples), then he risks other areas refusing his EO out of solidarity against that heavy-handedness as well as an increasing public outcry against him in general (try being a Governor and getting ANY legislation passed after that).
It's not simply a matter of strength of enforcement, it's about knowing when, where and how to apply the correct amount of pressure.
