wouldnt q judge that didnt sign it be in a similar predicament if they ruled against it?
well at least the same argument could be made.
Not nearly as much of an issue if at all. Signing is an actual act that indicates the position of a signatory. The lack of signing does not indicate an inclination either way.
The federal hurdle for a judge and bias re recusal is from Aetna Life vs (someone) and requires the probability of actual bias of the judge is too high to be constitutionally tolerable. I assume LA has similar case law. A lack of signature on the recall by itself would not be nearly strong enough to rise to intolerable bias. Even if you had proof they were offered and chose not to sign unless they overtly indicated the reason to not sign was that they were against the recall it is not proof of bias.
Signing is indeed an issue, not signing by itself is a non-issue.

Good points.
On the other hand, judges routinely issue rulings on election issues, and they usually voted in that election. So they presumably have a bias even if we don't know what the bias is.

Does Latoya have the financial means to fight it if she wanted to? She had $6k in her campaign account at last report and seems like nearly everyone with money and/or power has abandoned her. Would the Sec of State challenge it?

Why should this be any different from her exercising her right to vote?

You don't want it to be and I get that. It certainly is arguable that it is because it is a clear indication of the position a judge holds. Does it rise to the level of constitutionally intolerable bias, that is not for either of us to decide, I personally see the legal argument as being stronger that it is an issue.

So is the left insisting this judge has a bias?
Can we do the same thing with their side?

I don’t live anywhere near New Orleans and couldn’t care less who is their mayor. A judge signing a petition does not rise to the level of proving bias. That’s all.

To think that voters have had 3 chances and Latoya continues to suck the decency out of the city really makes you wonder if there can ever be hope for the city that care forgot

I don't think much will come of this. They can file a motion to recuse if they want to, but I don't think it will satisfy any of the grounds.
I remember her father Lloyd Medley at CDC. That was a tough rule day.
She is the one who ousted Chris Bruno.

If this were favorable to the Destroya the OT would be calling for the judge to be fired!

... yesterday there was a report on WVUE chan8 --- Cantrell's FAVORITE news station BTW
about an attempt to reinstate officer Vapie to LaToya's security detail after he was removed concerning an investigation into unethical behavior.

Zurik: Vappie’s return to Mayor Cantrell’s protection detail scuttled, NOPD federal monitor says
By Ken Daley and Lee Zurik
Published: Mar. 7, 2023 at 10:25 PM CST|Updated: 24 hours ago
NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) - The federal monitor overseeing the New Orleans Police Department consent decree said Tuesday (March 7) he blocked an attempt in December to have Officer Jeffrey Vappie reinstated to Mayor LaToya Cantrell’s executive protection detail while still under internal police investigation.
Jonathan Aronie, the Washington DC-based attorney and lead monitor of the NOPD’s consent decree, made the revelation in response to a Fox 8 question submitted for a public hearing on the NOPD’s compliance progress.
“Yes, there was an effort to put Officer Vappie back on the mayor’s executive protection team, prior to the completion of the PIB (Public Integrity Bureau) investigation,” Aronie said. “When the monitoring team found out about it, we reached out to multiple members of the NOPD leadership team, who quickly and effectively quashed that effort.”

I think Zurik credited the wrong agency within NOPD. PIB should be PIIHB. Put It In Her Butt Division.
