Can you first tell me how this office was established?
Okay, I had to look it up but the office of clerk of the Criminal District Court for the Parish of Orleans was created in 1975 (when the 1974 Constitution became effective) when the legislature adopted R.S. 13:1371.2. This is the same law that the legislature just repealed.
But I want to get back to what YOU said, that the legislature "explicitly violate[d] the state constitution" when it did away with the Orleans Parish Criminal Clerk of Court position. Can you explain that statement? How did the legislature "explicitly" violate the state constitution?

And you’re contesting that the government did not act based on their feelings of disapproval when they circumvented voters with this foolishness?
Laughable.

Serious question: do you have numbers to refute this? I don't, but it certainly seems plausible that NOLA takes more tax money that it generates.
Respectfully, are you aware what city hosted the Super Bowl this year? How many people travel to the city for Mardi Gras? French Quarter Fest? The two weekends of JazzFest? The economic impact of New Orleans cannot be overstated.

We're finally getting to the heart of the matter. Answer this question and I'll answer yours.

It was established in the 1879 constitution. The 1975 constitution continued the existence of the previously established office.

Isn’t is shocking that our small-government conservative legislators inserted that caveat after a century to grab more power for themselves.
Even more shocking is that the small-government conservative posters of this discussion board applaud this move.

I did. I also bothered to read the 1879 constitution that established the office. The 1975 constitution “continued” it.

Paper and pen. We are supposed to be a country of laws. Lawmakers make laws and judged uphold those laws. We have entered into a time were judges think they are lawmakers and judges think they are president. Luckily we had brilliant people that foresaw this and we have laws and rules to counter judges overstepping their authority. Unluckily we don't have people in power willing to exercise those laws and rules.
Well said.

It’s true that I think many men are disgusting pieces of shite. Have you read any of the vile things you post? You are literally a disgusting piece of shite (or choose to portray one on the internet) and that has nothing to do with where my father lives.

Well, they did it 56 years ago, and I seriously doubt they did it to “grab more power for themselves.”

You find it shocking that “small government conservatives” are applauding consolidating two clerks into a single position…, like every other parish in the State? Why should Orleans be treated differently?
So you’ve finally admitted that the Federal Courts don’t have any involvement in enforcing the State constitution, and the State constitution specifically states that the criminal clerk position “subject to change by law.” Is this whole melt down because “It's just so mean-spirited” and because “The legislature acted spitefully and thoughtlessly”?

They’re applauding the state government circumventing the will of the voters to consolidate power without consolidating courts, locations, staffs or any other resources. No one can say why this is good other than “New Orleans shouldn’t be different anymore.”
