The Judicial Intimidation of Our Legislature Cannot Stand

Yesterday, the leaders of the two chambers of the Louisiana legislature, Senate President Page Cortez and House Speaker Clay Schexnayder, were ordered to appear in federal court in Baton Rouge. While there, they were subjected to a lengthy and threatening harangue from Judge Shelly Dick. The threats included being jailed if they did not comply with her order to redraw Louisiana’s congressional district map so as to include a second minority district. Now think about that for a moment. The leaders of the legislative branch of our government, who were elected by the state senators and representatives who were in turn elected by the people of Louisiana, are being threatened with jail for not undoing the work of redistricting which they had only just completed. If intimidating legislators, who after all represent the sovereign will of the people in a democracy, seems more like something a Communist dictator would do than a United States federal judge, well that is exactly the point. Judge Dick is certainly free to draw up her own redistricting map, which would in turn be submitted to the scrutiny of higher courts. However, forcing legislatures to do something they most assuredly do not wish to do, by threatening their leaders with jail, is not a place where any democratic country should wish to go. The legislature has already spoken to the issue of redistricting. It is the courts’ turn to do what they will.
In the meantime, our thanks go out to our legislators for standing tall at a difficult time. LOUIS GURVICH, Chairman Republican Party of Louisiana

When it comes to sex doll torsos, most people are happy to accept a cheap sex doll torso that anyone can afford. The sex doll torso is easy to hide and move, and there is no need to worry about not being able to use it because the sex doll torso is easy to operate!

This is a concerning display of judicial intimidation towards our legislative leaders. It's important for the judiciary to uphold the law without resorting tiny fishing to threatening and coercive tactics.
