Health-care judge says he has no day-to-day involvement with GOP firm

[EV_Ares]

In the interview, a rarity for a sitting federal judge, Hudson said he and his wife invested in Campaign Solutions Inc. at the invitation of friend and neighbor Becki Donatelli, the company's founder and a major Republican fundraiser, more than a decade ago. Other than suggesting the firm to some charitable organizations, he's had no involvement since.

Liberal groups have for months called attention to Hudson's interest in the firm, which has done work for the Republican National Committee and other conservative groups. Some have called for him to recuse himself from the case over it. Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli II (R), who brought the case on behalf of the commonwealth, also paid the firm $9,000 for work this year and last. That criticism has been renewed since his opinion was released Monday.

-------------------------------

In my opinion this is typical of right-wing judges, they have no conscience or legal respect for the law. A Supreme Court Judge goes hunting with the VP & rules on a case he should have recursed himself of among others. Other cases of republican judges doing this. They are making a mockery of the bench.

1. That's right. . .not day to day, only every second days and on Sunday for golf!

2. He should recuse himself from ALL political issues.

He's a party hack, and worse, he's economically invested in the GOP.

3. What an absurdity! The guy has no ethics and poor judgement!

Dont people like Hudson realize that his peers and many attorneys who are not completely corrupt will regard him with contempt?

How do they look in the mirror?
