All true!!

Burris - gun toting lifetime solid conservative in every facet and has been a solid conservative district court judge - father was a great judge for many years - supported by almost every business and conservative interest in the state

Edwards - sister in law to John Bel Edwards - wife of former disgraced Tangipahoa sheriff Daniel Edwards - supported by trial (plaintiff) lawyers and coastal lawsuit lawyers - used to be a democrat but only changed her party affiliation when she realized she could not win as a democrat in Tangipahoa Parish - lost the Amite mayor's race as a democrat years ago while her own husband was the sheriff - that ought to tell you everything

Louisiana Supreme Court blocks interim Orleans clerk from taking office

The move follows the attorney general's warning that officials could be removed from office if they recognize any clerk other than the state-authorized appointee.

The Louisiana Supreme Court says it plans to quickly decide the fate of a new state law that dissolved New Orleans’ dual court clerk system by merging the criminal and civil clerk offices into one, according to our partners at NOLA.com.

The court also ruled that the city cannot appoint an interim clerk to the combined office and must not interfere with the duties of current clerk Chelsey Napoleon.

The judicial review follows a political firestorm sparked by Act 15, which consolidated the Orleans Parish civil and criminal clerk offices into a single position.

The move effectively nullified a November election in which 68% of voters chose Calvin Duncan to serve as Criminal Court Clerk. Under the new law, Duncan’s position was abolished before he could take office, and control of the unified office was transferred to Civil Clerk Chelsey Napoleon.

ABOLISHED!!!

Just stop!!!

I will attribute the celebrations after HRs and hits to the fact that (let's face it) these are kids - but somebody (i.e. JJ) needs to tell them how ridiculous the celebrations look given the overall performance of this team this year - it's like when a DT or DB in a football game celebrates after making a great play when they are losing 42-10 - absolutely ridiculous

It's a wonderful day - I love you scrooster!!

In Louisiana, with or without a will, a succession proceeding will have to be opened so there will be lawyers and court costs involved no matter what - the will simply dictates how the property will be split up once the succession proceeding is opened - doing an online will presents its own set of problems because Louisiana's laws governing the form requirements for wills can be tricky - if you really want a will, spend a little money up front to get a lawyer to do it - should not be that expensive

Not legal advice but it depends where your parents live and it also depends on what your parents have in their estates - but if they live in Louisiana, Louisiana's laws on intestacy (i.e. dying without a will) are extremely specific, simple, and well written - most people do not need a will - when the first parent dies, the surviving parent will get a usufruct over the deceased parent's 1/2 of the marital community with any separate property of the deceased parent being divided among you and your siblings evenly - when the other parent dies, all that parent's property will be split between you and your siblings evenly

What a douche bag!

Excellent post and analysis - one of the best I have read
