Figures. Like the Nazis, they consider any public office they hold as just another tool to use to advance the party's interests. And there are no limits on it's use.

If Judicial Watch indeed broke this news, congratulations are in order. Credit where credit is due.
At the least, there go this judge's chances of ever joining her soul mate, Sister Boogie Woman Ruth Bader Ginsburg, on the Supreme Court.

This revelation is a real shocker isn't it. Another gem that Jimmie Carter foisted on the citizens of the country.

Wiretapping Case Judge has Possible Conflict of Interest

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption and judicial abuse, announced today that Judge Anna Diggs Taylor, who last week ruled the government's warrantless wiretapping program unconstitutional, serves as a secretary and trustee for a foundation that donated funds to the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Michigan, a plaintiff in the case ACLU et al. v. National Security Agency. Judicial Watch discovered the potential conflict of interest after reviewing Judge Diggs Taylor's financial disclosure statements, available on Judicial Watch's Internet Site,
http://www.judicialwatch.org
According to her 2003 and 2004 financial disclosure statements, Judge Diggs Taylor served as secretary and trustee for the Community Foundation for Southeastern Michigan (CFSEM). She was re-elected to this position in June 2005. The official CFSEM website states that the foundation made a "recent grant" of $45,000 over two years to the ACLU of Michigan, a plaintiff in the wiretapping case. Judge Diggs Taylor sided with the ACLU of Michigan in her recent decision.
According to the CFSEM website, "The Foundation's trustees make all funding decisions at meetings held on a quarterly basis."
"This potential conflict of interest merits serious investigation," said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. "If Judge Diggs Taylor failed to disclose this link to a plaintiff in a case before her court, it would certainly call into question her judgment."
Judge Diggs Taylor is also the presiding judge in another case where she may have a conflict of interest. The Arab Community Center for Social and Economic Services (ACCESS) is a defendant in another case now before Judge Diggs Taylor's court (Case No. 06-10968 (Mich. E.D.)). In 2003, the CFSEM donated $180,000 to ACCESS.

Wonder if judicial watch watches over state supreme courts. They are loaded with conflict of interest judges.
