the loophole

Here's the problem. She advertised her position by signing the petition. The argument could be made that by doing this, her objectivity is called into question.

Didn't the judge just bless the deal the parties agreed to?

That’s what I’m saying. Appears more a ministerial act or mere formality, not really adjudicating anything. Nothing there that any bias could have influenced in the first place.
There’s actual bias and there’s the appearance of bias. The latter is not good ethically but doesn’t mean the former actually occurred.

But she could plausibly say that she is personally neutral.

So if it wasn't advertised then she is ok?
So a judge's voting record should, and must, be revealed if they are to preside over an elected officials case?

No, but basically saying she is for the recall puts away any pretense of impartiality.

The recall petition puts it to a vote to recall. Perhaps she was simply in favor of it going to a vote regardless of the outcome?

Who made media outlets and others aware of her signature being present on the recall ballot? Isn't that a breach of voter privacy? I thought the Registrar Office was supposed to be non-bias?
I doubt she called up NOLA.com out of the blue to voluntarily let them know that she had signed the recall petition.

Recall effort was supposed to turn over the list to NOLA.com when they turned it in to the registrar
There was a bit of pissing match, but I assume it eventually was resolved with NOLA.com getting the list. Doesn't mean it came from the office.

And we should believe this why?

Lawyers can, and will, argue anything. There is no stance she can take (signing or not signing) that couldn't be argued.
It is absurd, to any logical person, that she can be viewed as impartial for not signing and biased because she signed.

I mean, I'm all for having her recalled. Manny Chevrolet Bruno would do a better job and he's not even serious.

NOLA.com has been on a warpath today with recall drum beating.
Making sure they push the pro-Cantrell narrative

Under Louisiana law, the petition is public record.
It’s stupid but that’s it
