A Republican state senator from Roswell and several people from other political parties on Saturday called for state District Court Judge Wendy York to resign.

Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry's federal disclosure records show a $1,000 campaign contribution earlier this year from Wendy E. York of Albuquerque. Meanwhile, the judge ruled Friday that Ralph Nader cannot run in New Mexico as an independent presidential candidate, knocking him off the state's Nov. 2 ballot.

State judges may contribute to a political organization, according to New Mexico's Code of Judicial Conduct. But York should have recused herself from the Nader case, state Sen. Rod Adair, R-Roswell, said.

I don't think they learn very easily, that's for sure. Everything is so damned corrupt when it comes to politics. Did you see this?
