Default USSC Tell Judges Not to Rule on Major Backers
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/09/us...scotus.html?hp

Quote:
Elected judges must disqualify themselves from cases involving people who spent exceptionally large sums to put them on the bench, the Supreme Court ruled on Monday in a 5-to-4 decision.

Much of the American legal establishment had urged the court to rule that the Constitution required elected judges to disqualify themselves from at least those cases in which interested parties had spent large sums to elect them. Such groups welcomed Monday’s decision with something approaching jubilation.
I welcome this decision because it's the right thing to do.
