Is Governor Jeff Landry attempting to disbar Orleans Parish District Attorney Jason Williams pure political theater?
Tensions between Baton Rouge and New Orleans have reached a full-blown boiling point as Governor Jeff Landry calls to strip Orleans Parish District Attorney Jason Williams of his law license, and as the Louisiana Supreme Court issues a split 4-3 decision upholding Act 748, clearing the way to eliminate three New Orleans criminal court judgeships with just days to go before candidate qualifying. Is a governor attempting to disbar a sitting district attorney pure political theater, and does this high court ruling leave New Orleans judges with fewer constitutional protections than the rest of the state? Legal ethics expert and Loyola University Law Professor Dane Ciolino joins Newell to break down the legal realities of revoking a prosecutor’s license, the constitutional limits of state power, and what these explosive shifts mean for the future of justice in Louisiana.
