If tweet fails to load, click here. Attorney General Liz Murrill demands immediate rescission of New Orleans Clerk resolutions, or face potential forfeiture of their offices
Part of the letter to Mayor Helena Moreno:
quote:
Your letter and the Council’s actions now implicate Louisiana’s usurper statutes. See La. R.S. 42:71 et seq. If Judge Johnson attempts to assume the office without lawful authority, I will be required to seek expedited judicial relief. See La. R.S. 42:74. Judge Johnson—who appears to be an innocent bystander to the Council’s ultra vires action— would face personal exposure for fines or imprisonment, La. R.S. 42:71, damages, La. R.S. 42:82, and litigation costs, La. R.S. 42:84. More fundamentally, you, the District Attorney, and five Council members have put your own offices in jeopardy as “public officer[s] who g[a]ve[] adhesion to, or in any manner recognize[d] the authority of any usurper.” La. R.S. 42:72. For the consequence of that under Louisiana law is “forfeit[ure of] his office.” Id. And the Governor has the authority to fill any vacancies created by those forfeitures. La. R.S. 42:73, 75.
Do you think the Mayor, DA, and City Council back down?

I look forward to 4Cubbie's take on this.

I'm no SFP, but based on my contract research work at Yale:

Cubbies’ meltdown in the other thread is fun.
She is basically declaring that adding new duties to the civil clerk means that individual was no longer elected but appointed by Landry.

Please make this happen. I’d kill to have all republicans take over this cesspool of a city New Orleanistan
