IN RE: CONFIDENTIAL PARTY
JUDICIARY COMMISSION OF LOUISIANA
WEIMER, C.J., dissenting.
I respectfully dissent. Admittedly, this case presents itself in a unique posture, as the recommendation for interim disqualification is intricately intertwined with the merits of the proceeding which may be instituted by the Commission. Nevertheless, all of the relevant facts are undisputed. The issue on which the interim disqualification, and all subsequent proceedings, hinges is purely one of law. The respondent, the district that elected the respondent, the people who are called to court, and our system of justice deserve a fair and expeditious resolution of the significant and consequential issues presented herein.
