Just wait until the ones who didn’t have to pass the Bar exam during Covid start running for judge.

we must change the current law that exempts judges from recall (judges are the only elected officials in the state who are statutorily exempt from recall).

Which is insane. ANY elected official should be eligible for a recall, albeit they rarely work but at the very least it’s an option.

And no one with a law degree from Southern should be allowed to be a judge.


Given their constantly abysmal bar passage rates, there is already a built in limit to judgeship.

Judge weimer’s daughter being one of those that didn’t have to take the bar so I’ve been told. How convenient

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



Not as much as being disgusted that our fricking SUPREME COURT gave a pass to a judge who literally made up a charge during a trial.

It was 4-3 and it was a consent discipline.



Cade Cole was the deciding vote and didn't like the outcome. He is correct to point out that the Court wasn't deciding the punishment. It was deciding whether to approve a settlement. If the settlement wasn't approved the thing drags on and her "paid vacation" continues at taxpayers' expense.

While I can understand the rationale, the right answer isn't to put this judge back on the bench. I could have endured a little more "paid vacation" if the possible outcomes included removal from the bench in the event the settlement wasn't approved.

Agreed.

I think in the back of his mind he figures she is going to do something stupid again and they'll be able to bounce her then.

The 19th JDC has serious problems.

Here we have yet another QWAAN on the bench who can't do her job properly and needs to be removed.

Maybe that's why Queen Eboni just got a slap on the wrist, it would be too racist to punish two incompetent black female judges at the same time?

BATON ROUGE, La. (WAFB) - Formerly embattled state judge Eboni Johnson Rose will no longer hear criminal cases in the 19th Judicial District Court. Judge Johnson Rose’s colleagues voted to relieve her of oversight of criminal cases on her second day back at work Thursday, after she was handed a months-long disqualification and suspension by the Louisiana Supreme Court.

Chief Judge Don Johnson will take over Johnson Rose’s criminal caseload. Johnson Rose will take on additional civil cases.

The change will begin in August. The judge joined a small number of judges in the state’s history who the state’s high court had removed from the bench as it investigated legal missteps.

The justices found that Johnson Rose posed a “substantial threat of serious harm to the public and the administration of justice” after a series of reports from the WAFB I-TEAM exposed the judge’s legal errors on the bench and use of the n-word as she accused prosecutors of mishandling cases.

Great

Give her the more complicated cases. I'm sure that will work out fine
