Louisiana justices won't put Foxworth-Roberts back on bench; prompting possible appeal to US Supreme CourtNEW ORLEANS — The Louisiana Supreme Court on Thursday turned down an appeal from an East Baton Rouge Parish judge who said she shouldn't have been kicked off the bench for lying to voters about her military service during her 2020 campaign and to police officers as they investigated a car burglary. Justices last month removed Tiffany Foxworth-Roberts from the 19th Judicial District bench and she asked them to reconsider. Her lawyer says an appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court could be warranted on First Amendment grounds: Is Louisiana violating a political candidate's free speech rights? Federal appellate courts, he said, have said candidates should be allowed to engage in campaign rhetoric and let voters make their choices. Foxworth-Roberts began a full six-year term in office Jan. 1, 2021, and the Judiciary Commission received a complaint within five months.
