Justice Bernette Johnson will become Louisiana’s first black Supreme Court Chief Justice after Governor Bobby Jindal’s attempt to block her seating is denied in federal court.
*There’s nothing worse than disguised racism that employees have a hard time proving exists.
Sometimes, the more they try to prove their case, the more suspicious they look. Just like in sexual harrassment or rape cases, the victim becomes the accused.
But in the state of Louisiana, fortunately past cases of discrimination in government can be proven and used to help Bernette Johnson in her quest to rise to the Supreme Court Chief Justice position for her state.
But Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal, is trying to block her ascension due to a technicality that really doesn’t support his case.
The state constitution states that the next supreme court judge with the most seniority rises to the Chief position after the sitting Chief retires….and that’s Johnson.
I’m not gonna state the obvious regarding Governor Bobby Jindal but I’m wondering how the hell did he get into office anyway? I never heard of him until after the Hurricane Katrina debacle and they elected him as governor. His actions don’t surprise me one bit. It is obvious as the article implies that Jindal is using the caste system mentality in his attempt to block Ms. Johnson. It such a shame he is allowing himself to be used as a tool for the powers that be in Lousiana but I’m not surprised by his actions. They, Asian-Indians, will undermine anyone to make a dollar for themselves. Very sad.
