INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (WOWO):Attorney General Todd Rokita wants a six month delay in a citizen lawsuit over whether a recent law passed by the legislature that allows the General Assembly to call itself back for a special session is constitutional or not.

Governor Holcomb is suing over the same law after his veto of it was overriden by the General Assembly. Rokita says the lawsuits are in violation of the State Constitution because lawmakers can’t be sued while in session.

According to the Journal-Gazette, Lawmakers extended this session until mid-November due to census data being delayed. –

The criminal tyrant Holcomb doesn’t like losing some of his dictatorial power. No governor or even a president can be allowed to use continuous “emergency” order to suppress or control The People. He only has the power given to him as Governor by the people through their legislature. In a Republic, this is not a democracy as a form of government, THE PEOPLE are in charge through their legislature. Otherwise we are no longer FREE PEOPLE.
