Key Bush judge under ethics cloud

....and this is a surprise, why?

I am beginning to think that the Bushites only nominate people who are corrupt, so they can be blackmailed and kept in line in the future.

Key Bush judge under ethics cloud Salon.com News:

"May 3, 2006 Key Democrats denounced Terrence Boyle on Capitol Hill Monday and Tuesday, after a Salon report revealed that the controversial judge, nominated to one of the nation's highest courts by President Bush, violated federal law on conflicts of interest. As the debate over Boyle heated up, the White House acknowledged that Boyle should have recused himself in cases involving companies in which he owned stock -- but continued its support of the nominee.

Sen. Patrick Leahy of Vermont, the ranking Democrat of the Judiciary Committee, blasted Boyle on the floor of the Senate Monday, calling him 'somebody who has violated every judicial ethic you can think of.' "
