Two Louisiana Republicans, one a state senator and the other a member of Congress, say that an executive order by Gov. Kathleen Blanco prohibiting employment discrimination against gay and lesbian state government employees may be illegal. The Order extends to any business contracting with the state and requires those companies to have non-discrimination policies covering their lesbian and gay workers.

Sen. James David Cain has asked Attorney General Charles Foti for a legal opinion on the governor's action.

Cain wants to know if the order was constitutional, whether it would apply to local governments and if it is so vague it could lead to costly lawsuits.
