Utah's chief federal judge will not be disciplined for donating money to Barack Obama's campaign.

Tenth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Robert Henry cleared U.S. District Judge Tena Campbell in a decision posted last week. He did say the donation was unethical but noted that Campbell had promised no similar donations in the future.

Sounds good. Make it $5 million and count me in. I suggest we target the DNC headquarters.

(Note to left wing thought police: This is called sarcasm. This is not an actual plan. I know it’s hard for you to tell the difference, since your side actually has no moral or ethical problem with this sort of thing. Your only concern is getting caught.)

Thanks,, i was just going down the list of normal reasons that made people basically immune to consequences. I guess Female Clinton appointee dhimmicrat is enough to confer the magic protection.

This judge should be disciplined. He broke the law. It’s that simple.

Just like the golfer who discovered he was playing with an illegal ball spoke the truth and was disqualified.

Just like one of our dogs who had to be disqualified from the show this weekend because of a limp (he picked up a sticker or piece of glass; but will be alright and will compete in other shows); we accepted the ruling because it is the rule.

Why is out here in the public; we are obeying the rules; while our judges of all people and our elected officials find nothing wrong with breaking them? Just the like the married woman who decided to have a fling with the head (unmarried)of a dog show venue was eventually banned from showing dogs in that show venue. She should have been banned because it looked like there would be favoritism.

There are two Americas. One of exceptions to the rule for Democrats and one of a pervasive culture of corruption when a Republican does something.

Two sets of rules.

One for the liberal snobs.

Another for everyone else.

So you get one free bite of the apple before you’re disciplined? Why do I think if a judge had contributed to a Republican candidate they would throw the book at him?

CORRECTION

Now do we all get to pick a law we want to break just one time, then get a pass when we promise not to do it again?

  1. Just one theft of documents from the National Archives.
  2. Just oneEIGHTEEN! illegal investigations of Joe the Plumber.
  3. Just one leak of debate questions to the “preferred” party.

Just great that a sitting federal judge is known to all as being unethical, how can she dispense justice?
