Louisiana Is Getting Ready To Settle With The Ftc Whether The La. Board Likes It Or Not

[Eli]

Too many unknowns so far. It is still a major initiative. Just like the NJ intiative. Marion has pointed out that the big picture is much bigger than the small picture.

why can't this thread be merged with Joan's? I guess technology is not all it can be.

Maybe Joan said "hell no".

For pointing out the reality of the executive order?

Yes, right or wrong, his RULE OF LAW defense is sadly, laughable. Just look at how the ROL has held the real culprits accountable. Coester receives slaps on the wrist, pocket change fines for his actions. And Coester is just one of the poster boys.

It is very easy to not care about the rule of law when the rule of law works to possibly let people and entities who are bad actors off the hook or when the regulators don't follow all of the laws as they discipline people/entities you don't like or accomplish things that you find desirable. That's all well and fine until you find yourself or one of your friends before the same regulators who don't care about following the law, then all of a sudden the rule of law will become very important to you.

Then why is the rule of law suddenly tied to the economic condition of the state?

Did someone write some new rules?

Point out where I say I don't care about the ROL. I'm not breaking the law. I'm just tired of entities skirting the law and using lawyers, guns and money to exert their will. (Note the Zevon reference)

Thank you. TimD must have me on ignore and couldn't see my 3 times asked question as to whether he is privy to LA Board finances. Yea, I think i just gave him a convenient out.

You state the following in post 43 in this thread: Yes, right or wrong, his RULE OF LAW defense is sadly, laughable.

That post shows that you don't really care if the regulators disregard the law (i.e., the LREAB disregarding federal anti-trust law), as long as the entities that you despise (in this case AMC's) get busted.

He has an agenda to sell and can't let that be interrupted by the likes of either of us.




So again, when a state is broke, why would it ignor deep pockets with obvious opportunities?

It's just more profitable to them to prosecute the shoplifters and stop sign runners?

Hopefully drug dealers are not benefiting from relaxed rules like AMCs are.
'Perhaps drug cartels can move into LA and claim AMC defense,
no money to prosecute.



Better than comedy TV.

According to TimDs rationale - Add these oil states as well. Alaska, Texas, NM, WY, WV, OK, Utah and ND to to LA - as having empty coffers.....just because. Who really expects a person with a law degree would answer a simple yes or no question?
