quote:

In what have to be two of the most extraordinary filings in the history of the Louisiana Supreme Court, Gov. John Bel Edwards tried to intervene in a criminal case pending before the court ­— an unprecedented move — and Attorney General Jeff Landry filed a motion to throw out the governor’s intervention because he says the governor falsely filed the document in the name of the Attorney General. The AG also said the governor has no authority to intervene in a criminal case on his own.


quote:

It all began Tuesday, Jan. 18, when Gov. Edwards filed a 76-page document with the Supreme Court claiming to have the right to intervene in the criminal case charging Rev. Tony Spell of Central with the crime of holding church contrary to Edwards’ orders back in March 2020. The document purported to be from the Attorney General.


quote:

Edwards wrote the “law” which supposedly made it a crime for Pastor Spell to hold church. Actually, he issued an Emergency Order, which the governor says trumps the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
The Attorney General says the governor has no power to make laws and his orders cannot supercede the Constitution.


quote:

On Wednesday, Jan. 19, Attorney General Jeff Landry filed a “Motion to Strike or Alternatively, Opposition to Motion to Intervene Filed by Gov. John Bel Edwards.”

quote:

If the Supreme Court agrees that the governor or his attorneys have engaged in serious misconduct, the court has a variety of tools at their disposal. However, the case is so unusual and the facts so strange that it is difficult to know what, if anything, the court may decide to do.


They will do nothing to the slimy cocksucker

Are you not supposed to falsely file the document in the name of the Attorney General?

Unfortunately we have learned that the legislature has given him greater powers under these emergency order powers.

And they are too limp wristed to do anything about it.

What they will do is say that JBE can make any laws that he wants and his EOs can supersede the Constitution because Louisiana is a backward-arse, fricked up politically state.

Yep, AG is going to get drug in court again.

But don't worry, when he gets elected governor he will do absolutely nothing to repeal those powers.

All I can hope is someone asks him in the debates if he will push for legislation to reduce the emergency powers of the Governor.

I seriously wonder how people can live in a state with representatives that make Maxine Waters appear Einstein-esque.

Seriously, LA is a lost cause.

Run, people, run.

Republicans were given a blueprint on how to challenge and overcome the executive orders of JBE. They did nothing.

Only thing they did was puff their chests up and vote on something they knew had 0% chance of happening. Then just bowed their heads and said "what were we to do" before heading home and setting themselves up for reelection.

JBE is a slimy bastard. I feel sorry for my family and everyone in the State of Louisiana who has to deal with his dictatorship in bending laws for his greed and wrath to his State. It’s sickening.

The populous simply drags themselves down further…continuously.

It is absolutely hilarious and sad.

This is unbelievable even for Louisiana. He should be removed from office and disbarred.

This can’t be real.

Correct but the issue is he used Landry’s name on legal documents that the AG’s office had no part of
quote:

“Additionally, and very deceptively, the attorneys filing the Governor’s Motion to Intervene included ‘Jeff Landry Attorney General’ in the list of ‘Attorneys for Gov. John Bel Edwards,’ and on their signature block. Let us be clear. Jeff Landry does not represent Gov. Edwards in this matter nor does any attorney with the Louisiana Dept. of Justice. This filing was done without the knowledge or consent of the Attorney General or anyone with authority to give such consent.”


quote:

“Governor’s counsel are well aware that they are not authorized to represent that they are Special Assistant Attorneys General to this Honorable Court without an appointment by the Attorney General. Previously, counsel were instructed to correct future pleadings in a case where they were representing the Governor, in order to avoid confusion to this Honorable Court. See Exhibit A. The continued use of the Special Assistant Attorneys General title to this Court—the Supreme Court of Louisiana—is misleading and improper, and it appears intentional.”


If anything does happen he will have his lawyers take the fall

Does not matter.

Louisiana is a backward-arse, fricked up politically state.

Just watch.

Nothing will happen.

Nothing.

Y’all need to quit deluding yourselves into believing there is an actual justice system.

The political elite do not face justice.

That right there, if true, requires immediate removal from office. No impeachment, straight removal. That’s not dangerous talk, that’s dictator despotic talk. Nothings trumps the Bill of Rights. Nothing. No emergency is above any rights.

frick him for believing my right to freedom of religion comes from him. It comes from God. Devine Providence. And damn the LA GOP for doing nothing. They are just a responsible for trampling those rights.
