Gov. Jeff Landry said the Louisiana Legislature could hold a special session to take more control of Orleans Parish courts after a grand jury there indicted Attorney General Liz Murrill earlier this month, infuriating Republican state leaders who say the now-dropped charges against her were bogus and politically-motivated.

Lawmakers “want to look at ways that they can take more control of the court system in the city of New Orleans,” Landry said Wednesday during a press conference at the Governor’s Office of Homeland Security & Emergency Preparedness in Baton Rouge.

It is unclear whether key leaders in the Legislature would be on board with returning to the Capitol ahead of the regularly-scheduled session next spring. Senate President Cameron Henry, R-Metairie, did not immediately return an inquiry, and state Rep. Phillip DeVillier, R-Eunice, who serves as house speaker, declined to comment.

Competent people can handle and deal with more than
one issue at a time.

What does that have to do with our State government?

Uh, this is actually one of the state’s biggest problems. If New Orleans was able to function normally and have law and order it would make a massive difference.

Landry focusing on petty fights with NOLA means he's not doing other dumb things in the state. Added bonus is the jackasses in NOL A are squirming.

This is a win win situation.

If you don’t think New Orleans courts are a problem, you clearly have never experienced the city fully.

Let’s start with getting the sheriff’s office to serve people within the same calendar year they receive the papers

Corruption of the court system might seem important to smarter people.

A year ago I hated him but The Kiffening bought him a lot of goodwill. He's fully capable of losing it, we'll see how long it lasts.

She will never admit when she’s wrong. It’s comical.


Watch.

Ready to say those three little words yet?

Repeat after me.

What actions are you hoping the Sate legislature will take to further exert control over the courts will accomplish this?

I'll discuss how the State used decades-old, broad Constitutional language to override the outcome of a legitimate local election every day, but I am pretty sure most people are tired of seeing me stick to my principles,.

Pass laws like they have in Florida that allow the removal of rogue judges who won’t do their jobs. Require parishes the size of Orleans to have a full time DA. No moonlighting. That’s just off the top of my head.

I agree, but let’s not act like corruption is unique to just Orleans Parish. A lot of pot calling kettle black in this state recently
