I’ve interacted with John Devlin at LSU Law and found him quite nice. And since he published a series of articles entitled “Louisiana Constitutional Law,” he might be a good person to reach out to.

So much of constitutional jurisprudence seems to be based on pithy truisms.

I’ve heard it said a thousand times that the power of removal is implied as part of the power to appoint. But until reading your post, it never occurred to me that it could just as easily be said that the power to restrict removal is inherent in the power to create a particular office.

You might be able to pull it off with “Inside.” There’s really only three controls: joystick, jump, grab. You could probably figure a way to control the joystick with a thumb while hitting the other two buttons with fingers on the same hand. But I’ve obviously never tried it.

I never understood the outrage over that case. He admitted to negligence, and three years for two counts of negligent homicide seems pretty lax by American standards.
