The only reason to is to make the law firm richer, because the supposed conservative charlatans won’t to a darn thing to control their buddy Holcomb.
Remind me, Eric, why didn’t they simply end the emergency powers instead of passing this new law?
The Indiana Legislature is so awful the concept they can meet however and whenever they want is truly frightening. They cause enough ruckus on their current schedule.
Based upon what is being reporting, I believe there are two issues at play here and the judge actually addressed the wrong one. The legislature did not adjourn the regular session this year with the intention to come back after a break to address the redistricting which all knew needed to be done this year; this maneuver could be pulled in any year unfortunately.
The second is the law passed by the legislature that state they can call a special session any time. This would come after the closing of a session. This is the law that is actually counter to the Indiana constitution and should have been what it ruled upon.
Question: if you can do what the legislature did this year with only taking a break in the session and coming back later then why would they ever need the new law?
Best I can tell, the claim is that another set of constitutional amendments back in the 70’s and 80’s gave the power to the legislators to meet whenever they want come back whenever they chose.
Will be interesting to see how the Indiana Supreme Court rules.
