Holy shite, y'all. Someone actually cares about all the bitching I've done about the CoC

Did you tell him about fricking a homeless guy and your loss of two wheeled transport?

Cliffs?


Was that the shite she posted months back, think it was on the OT and then deleted?

Wasn’t New Orleans begging the state for money recently? And then debating paying a $10 million ransom fee to Essence festival? I’d say you guys are ready for your own governance.

I have no idea what any of that means - but I wholeheartedly support lil sis Cubbies .

No. But I can copy and paste it.

I have felt so sad and nihilistic about this. I know that my letter didn’t change anything and everything is still shite but at least it resonated with someone.

Greetings, fellow New Orleanians. I invite you on a brief journey back in time to 1776, when Thomas Paine published Common Sense and argued that people should not be governed by distant rulers disconnected from their daily lives and interests.

While I am not proposing a revolution, I am encouraging New Orleanians to apply their own common sense to the Legislature’s recent passage of SB 256.

By passing SB 256, the State used broad constitutional authority to override a legitimate local electoral outcome and diminish local democratic governance in Orleans Parish. Apparently, this is what passes for “efficiency” under the Landry administration.

Common sense tells us that the people most affected by local government decisions should have the strongest voice in making them. Yet 25 Louisiana State Senators and 63 State Representatives, none of whom reside in Orleans Parish, chose to restructure Orleans Parish Criminal Court despite the clear preferences of Orleans voters.

The issue is not whether the Legislature possessed the technical authority to act. The issue is whether elected officials should use decades-old constitutional language to circumvent the will of the people of New Orleans simply because they can.

Senator Jay Morris, who does not live in New Orleans and does not meaningfully engage with Orleans Parish Criminal Court, authored legislation reshaping a local institution for residents he does not represent. Legislators from across the state then imposed that decision on a parish whose voters had already spoken at the ballot box.

That should concern anyone who values democratic self-governance, regardless of political affiliation. If the State can selectively override local electoral outcomes whenever politically convenient, then local democracy exists only at the pleasure of the State Legislature.

Common sense should tell us that this is a dangerous precedent.

ETA idk maybe I am trying to incite a revolution.

Correct.

So a sitting Criminal District Court Judge complimented a letter you wrote calling for New Orleans to secede from Louisiana. Do tell. Please post the Judge’s name so we can bring this to the attention of others in the Judiciary.
