I'll correct my previous statement then.
Still not satisfying.

If you keep this up, I’ll have to find a new advisor for my secession campaign.

New Orleans: ~357,000–390,000 residents

Been a shite show since and no one wants back.
It's a travesty and a laughing stock of the south.
New Orleans is made up of low IQ voters and rich white liberals that would burn the place down around them as long as they stay rich and in power and use their low IQ voters as useful idiots.

She is a narcissistic leftist. She will never admit when she is wrong. She doesn’t have the mental capacity for humility

Hate to tell you but NOLA is becoming more and more of a burden than a bright spot for Louisiana. It was and still is an amazing cultural icon but the locals are squandering it with crime and corruption and third world politics. How many of Louisiana residents even go anymore?

Absolutely exactly. The state was well within its rights (and we've already established that it was completely within the state's legal authority to do so and that you don't like that this is true).
The end. Fini. Full stop. (apparently Russian and Japanese characters don't translate to the board's character set :( ) (Owari). Mwisho.
The state was 100% within its rights and the city/parish didn't like it so they tried to ignore it. They were legally warned that continuing down that path could have legal consequences (including being removed from elected seats) and they chose to respond to that by indicting the AG and issuing an arrest warrant for her.
The very first step in all this, therefore, is that the state exercising its legal right was a declaration of war simply because the city/parish didn't like it.

LOL, they are not leaving NOLA and heading to other parts of the state.
You need to brush up on your reading comprehension. I wrote, “Their kids have to leave to find jobs in economic powerhouses like Atlanta and Houston.”

Not really, the pre-Katrina estimate for 2005 New Orleans was 454k. Katrina saw it drop ~50% then slowly climb back upwards to ~390k in the final years of Mitch's run as Mayor. There was a slight drop from 2018 to 2019, but then after that it began to fall steadily to ~362k last year (Census estimates) and an estimated 357k right now (but I wouldn't bet a wooden nickel on whether that's right or wrong as we're barely halfway through the year thus far).
To get to what you're talking about you would need to go back to the days of its largest populations (which I believe was the early 60s).

And we’ve established that although the state possessed technical authority to pass that legislation, it still undermined its own election and circumvented the will of the voters.
We just ignore the inconvenient threat to actual democratic governance because the governor found a way that was technically permissible to settle a petty political score.
None of the lawyers will address that part for some reason.

Remember when you tried to quote the LA state constitution from 2 constitutions ago (over 100 years ago) as proof for your argument despite the current LA state constitution completely destroys your argument?
We remember.
Will you admit you were wrong?
Nope!
Don’t worry. I know you won’t respond, your lack of response is in itself a response that says more than you ever could.
Because it’s…..
Wait for it
LEGALLLLLLLLLLLL

I’ll point out, again, that you cheered New Orleans’ attempt to undermine a statewide election and usurp the will of its voters when it tried to indict the State AG.
The only difference between that and your complaint about the state is that what Mew Orleans tried to do was illegal.

It’s not illegal to indict sitting politicians if that’s what you’re referring to.

You don’t remember when you tried to quote 2 constitutions ago to explain why something that is legal under the current constitution is wrong?
Are you ready to admit you were wrong?
Again, your continued refusal to admit you are wrong says much more about your character than simply responding and admitting you were wrong.

For doing something within their job duties, such as sending out an advisory letter over legal consequences of a particular action?

I can’t believe that people support Landry after the cozy deal that he cut with plaintiff attorneys.
He had a chance to really change the legal landscape here but He vetoed a bill that would have reduced damages awarded in court to injured parties.
He even went so far as to name John Carmouche to the chair of the board of supervisors! Talk about a fraud!
