At the end of the day only one of the following statements can be true.
1. Current Louisiana law is right and the prior court judgments supporting there case will stand the test of farther litigation. Meaning that the other 20 coastal states are wrong and the many hundreds of supporting court judgments are incorrect rulings.
2. The other 20 coastal states are right and have many hundreds of supporting court rulings to support them. Meaning Louisiana is wrong and the publics right to tidal waters is being usurped by special interest.
Louisiana's wetlands today represent up to 40% of the wetlands of the continental United States and about 75% of that is private. So that means 30% of the wetlands of the continental United States are not only private but all in the same state. That is going to be very hard to justify if it ever gets to court.
