Re: guess the vote last year was worthless
said by Kearnstd  :the citizens voted yes to fiber and the courts are basicly saying your vote is worth shit. Yes, that is what courts do, when a public utility tries to sell bonds and not follow state law. I'm not too thrilled when courts overrule the voters wishes, but they do it every day of the week. It's both a strength and a weakness of our 3 pronged form of government(Legislature; Executive; & Judicial). Personally, I think the judicial branch has grown too powerful. But unless the Supreme Court starts overruling lower courts and starts letting the legislature and executive branches have more power, that is the way things are.

This is not a matter for the Supreme Court of the U.S. AFAICT because it purely concerns a matter of state governance. I guess some kind of a Commerce Clause argument could be made, but I doubt that the Supreme Court would bite. Thus, the only place it is likely to go is the Lousiana Supreme Court. Having read the opinion, I doubt that the LSC would take up any of the questions. |
