Polk-Payton argues,
paytonThe Commission seeks to discipline Judge Polk-Payton for speech that other judges routinely engage in: promoting a book and using social media. These common activities do not threaten the integrity of the judiciary. Rather, they are valuable to voters who can evaluate that speech and use it to make informed decisions. The Commission believes Judge Polk-Payton’s use of the Twitter handle “@JudgeCutie” is “undignified and demeaning” to the judicial office, but the handle conveys the judge’s personality to the public, which is essential for an elected judge.
The Commission also objects to a photo on the cover of the judge’s book, which shows her in ordinary clothes with her robe partially on; it is not clear whether she is putting on her robe or taking it off, but neither action demeans the judicial office. “Undignified” is a subjective judgment, and if anyone should enforce it, it should be the voters: If they find Judge Polk-Payton’s speech unbecoming to a judge, they will make that known come election time”
Thank you all so much for your support.

Can’t stand her! I’m sure I speak for the Tate and Dean family as well!
That’s why she stands on her own too… I bet she doesn’t care what you stand with either!
Parker Mcdonald very classy but, I think not!
Bite me.
I know Gay and she definitely doesn’t give a crap about what he thinks. Her confidence scares some you people. Get over it.
Do you mean own two……He is basically saying he doesn’t like her. YOU REALLY NEED TO STOP COMING ON PEOPLE’S THREAD, NOT KNOWING HOW TO ARTICULATE YOURSELF, OR WHAT’S BEING SAID. KAE, I AM EMBARRASSED FOR YOU.
Kimberly McCarty comprehension is fundamental for most, but it seems you have a problem with that. Be embarrassed about yourself. Additionally, the post originated from Hattiesburg Patriot News & I will continue to comment, if I want. Who’s going to stop me?
You should stop yourself…..LOL BTW using big words or words out of context doesn’t make u ok intelligent. However, I see you changed too, to two. At least your learning something in the process of commenting. Carry on!
Kimberly McCarty, it’s you’re, not your.
Parker Mcdonald I think I’ll pass on biting you.
Lol
Thank you Kimberly Fairley-Williams you’re absolutely correct. ‘Trust it was definitely a mistake not a common practice, as this lady continues to do under my comment and this one. You have a great name btw. LOL Speaking and writing English, is one of my better attributes. Basically what I was saying It’s better to say simple things correctly, rather than, saying things using words that aren’t in line with the subject matter.
Auto correct doesn’t help LOL. I mean you can spell something correct and it will change it….NEVERTHELESS, Gay using judge cutie, is still not befitting. My point and opinion, all in one….FOR THOSE WHO DON’T UNDERSTAND.
Kimberly McCarty I don’t need validation from you to know that I’m intelligent. Have you ever heard, prayer changes things? Praying that you will stop trying to belittle another intelligent sister, including Judge Gay-Polk…Now, carry on.
If the shoe fits …….. gots to go
And it didn’t…
and thats good. Fair is fair
This is so ridiculous!
