“corruption allegations against a Louisiana judge.”
Now thats something you don’t generally associate with Louisiana. /s
Now he’ll be able to run for the US House of Representatives.
Well, I’m in favor of removing enough Federal Judges of the sloppy, corrupt and tyrannical sort by means of impeachment, for that stable needs be swept out mightily.
The last impeached and convicted judge went straight to Congress:
>> Alcee Lamar Hastings (born September 5, 1936) is a member of the United States House of Representatives representing Florida’s 23rd congressional district (map). A Representative since 1993 and a Democrat, Hastings was previously a lawyer and judge. He spent ten years as a federal judge (19791989), but was impeached and removed from office for corruption and perjury. He was the sixth federal judge to be impeached and removed from office in American history. <<
