Governor John Bel Edwards is suing the Louisiana House of Representatives to defend the coronavirus rules they are attempting to throw out. A judge will ultimately decide whether Louisianans have to continue following the mitigation measures Gov. Edwards implemented through an executive order. On the final day of the fall special session, lawmakers sent a petition to Gov. Edwards instructing him to sign a new executive order that lifts all COVID-19 restrictions for a week. The law that allows the legislature to do this also says the governor has to comply. But Gov. Edwards argues the law is unconstitutional, primarily because it allows one chamber of the legislature to act on the entire legislature’s behalf. He is ignoring the petition and taking action in the courts.
