Judge Timothy Ellender of Louisiana; racist; misogynist, ethical gnome, moron

 

 
On Oct. 31, 2003, Judge Timothy Ellender and his wife attended a Halloween party at a Restaurant in Houma.
 
Judge Timothy Ellender was dressed as a prisoner, wearing a prison jumpsuit, handcuffs; leg irons as well as a black afro wig. His wife was dressed as a police officer.
 
Judge Ellender and his wife were disappointed when their costumes didn’t engender the laughs they expected. Judge Ellender and his wife then applied black makeup to their faces. 
 
Luckily for me, an unreliable source provided me with a photo of Judge Timothy Ellender outside the restaurant in Houma.
 
Subsequently, disciplinary complaints were filed against Judge Ellender, including complaints filed by the NAACP and Tim’s colleagues on the 32nd District Court bench.
 
Judge Timothy Ellender’s Laughable (fabricated) Defenses
 
Judge Ellender commented to The Times-Picayune that the incident was nothing more than a “tempest in a tea pot.” Put simply, Judge Ellender was saying, big deal – who gives a shit!
 
Judge Ellender admitted that the makeup did get laughs. “It was humorous, yes,” he said. He added it would have even been funnier had he applied blue paint, because anytime you add “coloration” to a costume, “its going to accentuate the humorous nature of it.” In its report, the Judicial Commission called Judge Ellender’s explanation, “incredulous (BS), disingenuous (false) and nonsensical.”
 
Judge Ellender disagreed with the Office of Special Counsel that he violated the Code of Judicial Conduct. He denied that his conduct in wearing black face, prison garb and shackles, portrayed African-Americans in a racially stereotypical manner that perpetuated the notion that they were both inferior and criminals.  
 
Maybe Tim’s right! I’m sure that if I wore an oversized suit with prominent slits for making cash deposits that, some folks might think I was portraying congressman in a stereotypical manner that unfairly perpetuated the notion that they were susceptible to accepting bribes.
 
Judge Ellender also denied that his conduct called into question his integrity or his ability to be fair and impartial towards African-Americans appearing before him. What integrity? What ability?
At a hearing, Judge Ellender pleaded “stupidity, ignorance and lack of judgment by wearing his “black face prisoner costume,” but denied that he perpetuated the notion of African-Americans as criminals. Not only is Judge Ellender a certified moron but he’s also a congenital liar.
 
Justice Edwin Lombard’s Asinine Suggestion
 
Ex-Supreme Court Justice Edwin A. Lombard agreed that Judge Ellender should be disciplined for his conduct; however, he said that Tim and all judges in Louisiana should attend “racial sensitivity” training. He concluded that this training could be beneficial in preventing similar conduct. Bullshit!
 
Racial sensitivity training for Louisiana judges, give me a break! Didn’t Timmy learn from Mommy and Daddy that treating African-Americans as inferior beings wasn’t proper? Whoa … my bad! That’s where the problem started, right Timmy Baby?
 
It was rumored that Judge Ellender was a finalist for Time Magazine’s “Bigot of the Year” award; however, the eventual winner was Strom Thurmond.
 
Judge Timothy Ellender in Trouble Again
 
As could be expected, Judge Ellender was recently found guilty again by the Judicial Commission of engaging in misconduct.
 
In 2007, Judge Ellender decided it was time to prove that in addition to being a bigot, he was also a die-in-the-wool misogynist.
 
When a woman sought to secure a restraining order against her husband for fear he would beat her children during a hearing before Judge Ellender, he grew impatient and opined that she get a divorce rather than “go through this crap.”
 
Judge Ellender then demeaned the lady by telling her that she should seek better dining choices than going to the local Subway.
 
When the lady explained to Judge Ellender that her husband threatened to beat her daughter until she would bleed.
 
Judge Ellender then asked the father if this threat was true. He said he would whip her butt and make it bleed. Judge Ellender responded by saying, “Good for you.”
 
As was the case when he was first disciplined, the Louisiana Supreme Court awarded Judge Ellender with a complimentary thirty-day suspension.
 
It is rumored that if Judge Ellender is found guilty of misconduct in the future, the punishment will be an all paid vacation for two weeks for him and his family in Tahiti.
 
Nominee for Bigoted Misogynist of the Year
 
An unreliable source indicated that Time magazine has nominated Judge Timothy Ellender for its initial “Bigoted Misogynist” of Year award for 2010. I can’t think of a more deserving candidate, can you?
 
Conclusion
 
How is it possible that the powers-to-be at the Louisiana Supreme Court can allow this certified misfit to remain on the bench? Of course this is what ya get when judges are allowed to judge judges. In the real world, someone of Judge Timothy Ellender’s ilk (FYI: Tim, ilk isn’t a male Elk) would have been fired long, long ago.
