Oops, Bush's Judicial Nominee Broke Federal Law (GOP, The Party of Corruption) |
Is there a Bush offical that's not a scum?
http://rawstory.com/news/2005/Bush_nominee_broke_federal_laws_0122.html
A federal judge that President Bush nominated to the U.S. Circuit
Court "apparently violated federal law repeatedly" by sitting on at
least 18 cases involving corporations in which he owned stock,
according to an article written by Will Evans for Salon.com, RAW STORY
has learned.
In 2001, President Bush appointed Judge James H. Payne as a federal
district judge in Oklahoma, then in late September to the 10th U.S.
Circuit Court of Appeals, and Salon reports that "Payne has been
sitting inappropriately on at least one case at any given moment for
nearly his entire federal judgeship."
"I do not have time...I can't do it," was Payne's only response to
Salon's multiple attempts to reach him for comment before hanging up.

Excerpts from Salon's Bush nominee broke law:
#
Payne's financial filings show holdings of up to $100,000 in SBC
Communications stock, up to $50,000 in Wal-Mart stock and up to
$15,000 in Pfizer stock, among others, while he presided over lawsuits
involving the companies or their subsidiaries. In fact, it appears
that since he was appointed by Bush in 2001 as a federal district
judge in Oklahoma, Payne has been sitting inappropriately on at least
one case at any given moment for nearly his entire federal judgeship.
.....
Payne's track record illuminates how conflict-ridden cases can slide
through the cracks of a system that relies primarily on judges to
regulate themselves. The financial disclosure forms that Payne signs
and submits each year show a consistent core group of stocks year
after year, including those in his most recent filing last September.
Since 1999 (as far back as his filings are publicly available), court
records show Payne participated in cases involving SBC, Tricon Global
Restaurants, Pfizer, Williams Cos. and Wal-Mart while reporting stock
holdings in those companies. Some of the lawsuits explicitly name the
corporations, while others name subsidiaries, like Taco Bell and KFC
(owned by Tricon) or Williams Oil Gathering (owned by the Williams
natural-gas giant).
In the wake of the Watergate scandal, Congress passed a law in 1974
during an era of reform that made the rule for recusals unequivocal:
Judges should monitor their finances and must disqualify themselves if
they, their spouses or their children have a financial interest in the
case -- "however small."
