re: Big day for Louisiana Politics, JBE goes in front of judge re petition to limit powers

My understanding is the legislature passed a law giving the governor emergency powers and the same law proscribed how the legislature could limit those powers.

Am I right?

You are right.

My understanding is that the "limit" provision has never been challenged in court. It is currently being challenged as violating the state constitution.

I would not be surprised if a judge tosses that entire provision of thw law out.

This particular provision seems to violate the governor's powers.

A provision similar to a veto override provision, I believe, would easily pass state constitutional muster.
