Good for him.
Bravo!
Jindal’s golden hour: LA liberals think they have him on the defensive. Who are the eight “lawmakers” who opposed such a mild bill?
OK. So Gov. Jindal has taken the spirit of the actions that one Barack Hussein Obama, humm, humm, humm, has implemented. Bypass the legislative bodies and implement, implement, implement. This game can be played in SO many derivative variations. Who’s up next? Texas, Wisconsin, Kansas?
Nice to see some courage from a Republican for a change!
Good. I still don’t know why we need special legislation to enforce our constitutionally-guaranteed freedoms, though.
Jindal has some brass gonads to do this - you know the media will be after him.
But this is smart and brave. I think he’s quickly becoming my #2 pick behind Cruz. We need conservatives who are willing to FIGHT.
Bobby is speaking for the people of Louisiana.
No. No. No. No. No. No. No.
I really do like Bobby Jindal, but religious freedom DOES NOT NEED AN EXECUTIVE ORDER.
EOs can be repealed, lifted, etc. Religious freedom cannot.
We are buying into the notion that Obama has tried to make commonplace: EOs are the normal course of business, and the occupant of the Oval Office can create binding law.
The very first SENTENCE of the body of the Constitution only permits the Congress to create law:
“All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress...”
All means ALL. Not some, not most, not a plurality. All.
Given that, AND given that the Constitution ALSO guarantees religious freedom—not just “freedom of worship”, then the EO Bobby speaks about would be, at best, superfluous.
Sorry for the extended rant.
Bobby is a great guy, I just think his thinking and/or approach is not right on this particular issue.
Oops. I spoke too soon. This is a Louisiana issue. I should’ve read further. My bad.
Since this is a state issue, Bobby ought to be able to be the governor of the state.
Inside Louisiana, that is for the people and state government to decide.
I apologize.
