Coin dealer sues to disqualify county's judges from criminal case

Snip...

Tom Noe, a rare coin dealer and prominent GOP fundraiser now facing state and federal charges, says in a lawsuit that he has ferociously and persistently worked to unseat Democratic judges and elect Republicans for 20 years.

"I consider every judge on the bench to be a genuine political enemy, on the one hand, or a political client and/or close personal friend, on the other hand," Noe said in the suit filed Monday.

Federal prosecutors last year charged Noe with illegally funneling $45,000 to President Bush's re-election campaign, and he has pleaded not guilty.

In the lawsuit, Noe makes no secret of his dislike of Democrats and the lengths he's gone over the years to force them from office.

He eagerly describes several of his favorite tactics, including splitting Democratic votes by running an independent candidate and frequent legal complaints against Democratic candidates alleging election and campaign finance violations.
