BATON ROUGE, LA – Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry issued the
following statement after the U.S. Supreme Court denied the motion to file by
the State of Texas:
“I wholeheartedly agree with the dissent by Justice
Alito and Justice Thomas. This case falls within the Supreme Court's original
jurisdiction, and the motion to file should have been granted. It is incredibly
disappointing that the Supreme Court decided to hide behind discretion in a
dispute between states."
