Holcomb sues in bid to void emergency bill Says passed law is unconstitutional NIKI KELLY | The Journal Gazette INDIANAPOLIS – Republican Gov. Eric Holcomb filed suit Tuesday against the Indiana General Assembly and its GOP leaders, claiming they approved an unconstitutional law. But procedural issues might stop the court case before that question is determined. That's because Attorney General Todd Rokita said Holcomb has no right to sue. Holcomb is asking a Marion County judge for a permanent injunction blocking a new law allowing lawmakers to call themselves in for emergency session. “I took an oath to uphold the Constitution of the State of Indiana and I have an obligation to do so. This filing is about the future of the executive branch and all the Governors who will serve long after I'm gone,” Holcomb said in a news release.
