Exactly what is a US Senator supposed to "do"about a locally elected Justice of the Peace? Other than issue a bland statement, which is what most, if not all Senators, might do in the same situation. If LA is similar to other states the JP may be able to be brought up for investigation by a form of Judicial Disabilties Commission, which would then make a ruling from nothing to removal.

Charles County, MD recently had a Circuit Court Judge (way higher than JP) charged with vandalizing cars in the Courthouse parking lot. Neither Senator Mikulski or Cardin issued any kind of statement, nor did the District's Congressman, Steny Hoyer (House Majority Leader).

And? The poster implied that Louisianans only vote for good ole white boys. I merely countered with the fact that the only Indian and Vietnamese American politicians were from Louisiana and republican.
