Congress is really so fricked up is a shitty threat but do you dumb mfers know who the majority leader is right no?

The two that really stand out are The two that really stand out are Johnson and Scalise. Louisiana simultaneously holds the Speakership and Majority Leader position, giving the state extraordinary access to the House legislative agenda.

Louisiana U.S. Senators

Bill Cassidy — Republican, senior senator

Cassidy is Chairman of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor & Pensions (HELP). That is a major Senate chairmanship covering health care, labor law, education, pensions, workforce issues, and significant federal regulatory oversight. He also serves on Finance, Energy & Natural Resources, and Veterans’ Affairs.

John Kennedy — Republican

Kennedy serves on four particularly influential committees: Appropriations; Judiciary; Banking, Housing & Urban Affairs; and Budget. His official biography also identifies him as the senior/top Republican on the Appropriations Subcommittee on Energy & Water Development and the Banking Subcommittee on Economic Policy.

So, in terms of actual institutional power, I would roughly rank Louisiana’s delegation:

1. Mike Johnson — Speaker of the House
2. Steve Scalise — House Majority Leader
3. Bill Cassidy — Senate HELP Chairman
4. John Kennedy — Appropriations/Judiciary/Banking/Budget + subcommittee leadership
5. Julia Letlow — House Appropriations
6. Clay Higgins — Armed Services/Oversight
7. Troy Carter — Energy & Commerce/Homeland Security
8. Cleo Fields — Financial Services House legislative agenda.

So you are fricking with the state that has 2 of most powerful people in Congress including the speaker of the house, that are key figures for the President. You can kiss that fricking bill Saban wanted good-bye now mfers, Deader than Elvis now. When Nick finds out he is going to beat Sankeys little arse.

Yeah I caught that too. But they could double the fine the league puts on LSU and launch all kind of investigations. It’s real fun to be the subject of a house investigation. (Don’t ask)

I happen to agree with you, but the point is that the SEC brass care about it.

When November comes, Louisiana will
lose all their political power. LSU should probably settle now instead of throwing their short term influence around.

Wrong! LSU isn’t around 50. Other than that everything is correct.

Finally something a Rebel and Tiger could agree on.

It's a total piece of shite. There would be elements that would never stand up to challenge in a court.

There's an old saying that "a camel is the result of a committee designing a horse".

What if I told you the same TN chancellor that spearheaded this witch hunt is the same person that was a major architect on that bill?

I vote no
