re: Louisiana Supreme Court letting Eboni Johnson Rose off with slap on the wrist

I loathe that we elect judges in this state

So you’d prefer that they’d be appointed by the governor or Supreme Court? No thanks, we’d have a bench full of the highest bidder without a doubt.

Read Cole's concurrence. He basically threw up his hands and said the only people being sanctioned were taxpayers but he was concurring because if it dragged out, her paid vacation would be longer.

Why not drag it out longer and inform the public about it? It's not a billion dollars.

She should absolutely be removed. I know Louisiana is a bit different in politics, but this is absurd.

It disgust me that our lives could be in the hands of a dumb, moody, racist, arrogant bitch like her.

Terrifying actually.

What a stupid thing to say. Even if 90% of graduates that went there might be bums, not one has ever been qualified to a be a judge?

Read the rest of my post.

But to further answer your question—I don’t think there is a perfect solution. However, there needs to be some type of vetting process in place for judges. The voting public typically is not going to know enough about any particular candidate’s legal acumen.

Currently, the only qualification criteria for judicial candidates is that they have to live in the district in which they are running and must have practiced law for 8 years (10 years for the courts of appeal and the Supreme Court). So if you meet those bare minimum qualifications and can win a popularity contest, you can sit in judgment over legal cases regardless of your actual legal experience.

the 19th JDC is a complete dumpster fire

---

Over 3.5 years ago, my older, evil, and manipulative sister changed my mom’s will and power of attorney to allow her to become sole recipient and “provider” after her dementia diagnosis.

In that time, my mother has been living by herself (she now has late stage dementia), locked herself out of the house, broken glass windows, and finally was committed to a behavioral health center after I called the police and she could not orient herself. She finally has 24/7 care, although she recently was recommitted to a behavioral health hospital due to violent encounters with her caregivers. My mother has been basically regulated to die inside her home as she gets nothing but frozen dinners, processed foods, and has zero socialization or interactions with anyone when she used to be a social butterfly.

I have been the 19th JDC this entire time, and when I say it is an absolute joke of a”justice” I speak from experience. Nothing, and I mean, nothing has been done in terms of an interdiction. There are multiple Elderly Protective Service cases filed against my sister, including fraud, and when I say EPS provides no updates, I mean it. The whole system is flawed and broken.

You should see urban courts in Texas. To be fair, Texas is doing something about it. The state has created business courts to take high dollar commercial cases from these judges and the legislature is looking at a massive pay hike to attract better candidates.

It’s a fricking joke

the elected term for state civil districts is six years. She was elected in Dec 2020. Next election will be Dec 2026

she will be re-elected in a landslide LOL

was 4-3 and it was a consent discipline.

McCallum's dissent laid it out perfectly. She got a 9 month paid vacation plus a $15k bonus

Yep.. This is straight bullshite.

She should have never have been paid and she should lose her job
