““ ‘ “The office of judge is one in which the general public has a deep and vital interest, and, because that is true, the official conduct of judges, as well as then-private conduct, is closely observed. When a judge, either in his official capacity or as a private citizen, is guilty of such conduct as to cause others to question his character ..., the people not only lose respect for him as a [person] but lose respect for the court over which he presides as well.” ’ ” Quoting In re Haggerty, 257 La. 1, 29 , 241 So.2d 469, 478 (1970), quoting Stanley v. Jones, 201 La. 549, 562-563 , 9 So.2d 678, 683 (1942).”
