I said this on another subreddit, but lawyers in Louisiana generally get a year of suspension for a single instance of a DUI, and that's in addition to having to go through counseling, prove that they do not have a substance abuse issue, and then reapply once the year is up.

For this judge to act this way and get such a minor consequence is an absolute travesty and it's disgusting. If professions want to sell regulate, they damn well should do it with consistency and with an eye to the fact that the public loses trust every time something like this happens.
