I would love to see Mitch doing a perp walk
Send the cops to arrest the judge on contempt of Mayor charges.
Hey, why not? They just make shit up as they go anyway, right?
Well, the FF’s may be “due” the money, but the PE’s are bankrupting this country. FF’s and Cops are not worth what we pay them, and here in CA they all get to retire at 50 with full benes! Down in LA the lifeguards on the beaches are FF’s so they get to retire at 50 after 25 years of ogling women in bikini’s for a living! Firefighters: "We eat until we're sleepy then sleep until we're hungry!"
Just throwing it out there, but how is the Mayor’s ordeal different than the City Clerk who refused Marriage licenses? We are good with one but not the other? Both are elected officials defying a court order.
Well, this judge certainly got the point across to Landrieu didn’t he? However, how do you get blood out of a turnip, after all NO has been through. The money has certainly flowed into the city for the recovery, but it was earmarked and designated. Much of it federal, and nothing addressed the firefighters. $75 million. Some corporation could address that debt in exchange for name and recognition on every street corner?
If the judge wants to make the city’s budget, there’s a process for running for office.
But JAILING someone for failing to follow the recommendation of the court since, well, see above, judges don’t make city budgets...
Since when is this country supposed to be ruled by judges?
Why house arrest? Get him in a jump suit with the queers, drunks, prostitutes, dopers and the rest of the city residents ... heck, he could do a little politicing while in there.
So, if I understand this clusterf*ck correctly, the pig judge is ordering the mayor to come up with the cash or go to jail.
Let’s count the numbers. At best, the pig judge has a dozen marshals to carry out his illegal dictates.
The mayor has a few thousand cops to drag that fascist judge into the street and decorate him from a lamppost. And nobody will give a hang if that happens.
This entire matter is a preview of what will happen when the rule of law no longer exists.
