And if you take out all the cancer from a stage 4 patient, they are as healthy as a horse.

I see he’s at sullivans tonight. I guess he needs to spend that election cash before this cash grab ends on Saturday.

Also, if you are free for lunch tomorrow, go there. They will be doing an emergency meat and seafood order tonight just to open for 11:00AM tomorrow

In true liberal tradition, the left refuses to adhere to the result of an election, or in thus case a vote.

They can try to tie it up for years but some of the grounds they are expected to use (ex - parish charter limits EBR to four municipalities) are expressly overruled by the state constitution and case law.

What legal grounds do they have to stand on though? We have precedence in places like Central, Zachary and Baker. I think they have resigned themselves to the fact that it's likely to pass and have some major pucker factor going on right now.

The vote only counts if they win. Otherwise you keep revoting until it comes out “right.”

Like the judges that have ruled on this in the past give a shite about laws and constitutions

If their attempted lawsuits are anything like a Chauna filibuster, it will end in hilariously short but painstakingly agonizing fashion.

I don’t think it will be tied up in court for a long period. It will take time to work through the issues and the legacy cost could end up in court but not really much else that can be done.

He talks about us taking our toys and going home. Better than his people taking our toys and going home like they are so inclined to do.

Why isn’t a Republican running against him?

if they go to court, by the time it gets to a trial and to the appellate court, JBE will be out. they have a shot that when it passes now, JBE has some control over things for the early stages. giving that up when a win in the courts is unlikely would be stupid

It's probably a district that's 95+% Democrat. Why would a Republican waste their time on that?

Because that district is NBR, Baker, and the blacker part of Zachary. To say it is a black majority district is an understatement.

I'm just curious about what legal challenge they could come up with? Seems like they've followed the same process that other areas have successfully.
