I'm no attorney but doesn't seem accurate to me.....

Thank you for reaching out to the office. This continues to be a conversation in the office and among the legislators on how this will move forward.



The public is hoping for a petition to be started, but - everyone is learning in these unprecedented times- that doesn’t apply to this situation because this is a “rule” under Administrative Procedures Act, not a “law” or “executive order” that has the option of an override from the legislature.



They are having multiple conversations trying to navigate this and as we learn more, we will continue to share when we need you to jump in. It’s going to be all hands on deck when the time comes.



I know these aren’t answers, but at the moment, we don’t have the answers either. We are hopeful the suit is going to settle the matter.



Please keep checking in with me. I try to keep everyone in the loop, but that list is getting longer and longer and I know I will forget someone eventually.



Thank you,

Well then write legislation to overturn the rule dumbass


However, if it is just a rule, then it can’t be enforced like a law

Ya, this was a goofy response by them to act like their hands are tied because it's just a "rule." Unless this is firmly within the executive branch's authority, the legislature can make a law to ban it.

Eta: I'm talking way off the hip here, but I assume the Administrative Procedures Act, being an Act and all, was passed by the.... legislature. Which means the legislature could amend it, though I haven't read the text. JBE would veto of course, then I assume LA can override it if they have enough votes.

They know exactly how to circumvent the legislatures in states like Louisiana

True communists. Make rules against the peoples will. JBE said he doesn't care the leg voted 13-2 to get rid of it.

I asked senator Milligan about getting a petition going back when it was relevant to remove emergency powers. He whined and complained about "what ifs" and "that could happen" and "who would make an emergency declaration if thishappens and we removed ut from JBE". Many many excuses to sit pat. He wrapped up with pray for better days.

Basically, there is no scenario in which they will do anything. Hell, JBE just reupped the emergency order for covid. Nothing moves these guys.

If legislation was passed, it wouldn't happen until the next Session, and would still be subject to a likely veto.
IMHO, a bill/law will not address this issue in the short term.
In the longer view, I believe a governor from either party would veto any bill that would fundamentally shift that much power from the Executive to the Legislative branch.

The excuses from them are hilarious. I'm beginning to think many of them were bought off too.

They have no desire to stop this.

Wouldn't the legislation only have to specify COVID? That's not a huge shift in power.

That Senator is a chicken shite. He doesn't care. He represents the money that financed his campaign.

That's horseshite.

If it has no basis in law, or arises from an EO, it is invalid on its face.

In my opinion, another recall attempt may be the only other option as these worthless Senators won’t do a thing. This recall attempt would get more than enough signatures.

Who does he think passed the APA? Does he realize that it can be repealed?

Oh, he likes not having to vote on every action that they can pass the buck on to the executive.

The Louisiana legislature ain’t gonna do shite! All these Republicans want to be in a position to say we can do better than JBE. They don’t want anyone saying more people died because of Republicans. They want a boogie man for you to be afraid of and if they shut him down they loose that. Louisiana is circling the drain, time to go. Frick all these pu$$ies.

It's what we have been saying for almost two years. The governor has insane levels of exec power in a state of emergency.

The only way to check his power is for both the House and the Senate to vote to end the state of emergency.

21 months in... they have declined to both do so.

Tomorrow, the Legislature could call themselves into session, pass such a bill, send it to JBE, he vetos it, then the Legislature goes back into a veto session and overrides it.

All of that could be done ASAP.

But 2/3rds of the legislature doesn't have the balls to do it.

Can we recall JBE, House, and Senate, all at once?

Everyone wants to call JBE a slimy cocksucker but what about the 144 slimy cocksuckers in the legislature? Most of them are more slimy than JBE.

JBE is just echoing his party line. What the "Republicans" are doing is much, much worse.
