[Louisiana] Attorney General Jeff Landry's Statement On 2020 Federal Elections And Recent Texas Motion Before The Supreme Court

BATON ROUGE, LA - Attorney General Jeff Landry issued the following statement regarding the ongoing controversies over the 2020 federal election and the new motion put forward by the State of Texas before the U.S. Supreme Court:

“Millions of Louisiana citizens, and tens of millions of our fellow citizens in the country, have deep concerns regarding the conduct of the 2020 federal elections. Deeply rooted in these concerns is the fact that some states appear to have conducted their elections with a disregard to the U.S. Constitution. Furthermore, many Louisianans have become more frustrated as some in media and the political class try to sidestep legitimate issues for the sake of expediency.

Weeks ago, on behalf of the citizens of Louisiana, my office joined many other states in filing a legal brief with the United States Supreme Court urging the Justices to look into the conduct of the election in Pennsylvania where their state court ignored the U.S. Constitution in regard to the conduct of the election. The U.S. Constitution in Article 1, Section 4, states plainly: “The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature …” The power for the conduct of federal elections is held by the State Legislatures in each state. In states like Pennsylvania, the judicial branch attempted to seize control of these duties and obligations and to set their own rules. These actions appear to be unconstitutional. If it is unconstitutional for Pennsylvania to take this action, it is similarly unconstitutional for other states to have done the same.

Only the U.S. Supreme Court can ultimately decide cases of real controversy among the states under our Constitution. That is why the Justices should hear and decide the case which we have joined representing the citizens of Louisiana.

Furthermore, the U.S. Supreme Court should consider the most recent Texas motion, which contains some of the same arguments.

Louisiana citizens are damaged if elections in other states were conducted outside the confines of the Constitution while we obeyed the rules.”

The AG position in Louisiana is elective, so Landry does not work at the Governor's pleasure (the incumbent John Bel Edwards is a Democrat).

I have a sneaky suspicion that Dominion Voting may have several canceled contracts before long in red states

I hope in coming hours and days more states join. The SCOTUS will see how many Americans are upset. If we had 5 or 10 states joining this it may may hold more weight in there eyes. I don’t think they want to mess with this at all. And roberts won’t be on our side at all.

There is one element of the Texas suit that really got my attention.

It sets out a logical basis for secession—if the US refuses to follow its own Constitution (and allows a fraudulent Presidential election), then the US cannot morally require the states to “follow the rules” either.

Some may say this does not matter because “might makes right” and secession won’t happen—and my answer is that “stuff happens” and sometimes the first step may appear to be minor at the time but may turn out to be historic in the rear view mirror.

Every break starts with a small crack.

Make Texas a country again.

After Trump is sworn in again, I expect to see him appoint a team of special prosecutors & for them to demand access to ALL the contracts & to the machines Dominion is a party to.

EO 13848 will well apply to Dominion, for the voter fraud, also. Seizing alot of assets & using them to build the wall or for other prosecutions will warm my heart.
