Bringing in the big gunsSubmitted by Adam Smith on Tue, 10/14/2008 - 10:59am.
For years, the West Virginia Supreme Court has been riled by stories of pay-to-play politics and access and influence by wealthy executives.
And now, the U.S. Supreme Court is being asked to step in to decide if Benjamin's refusal to recuse himself "violates the constitutional right to a fair hearing before an impartial decision maker."
"If the public believes that judges can be bought," Keith Fisher, a lawyer for the ABA told the New York Times, "that is really poisonous and undermines public confidence in an independent judiciary."

Very cool design! I find very interesting information at this article, thanks. This is really bigger than just one state. This is a symtom of a disease that permiates the entire nation. Our politicians are so focused on personal gain that they have become blind to anything that exceeds their small group of special interest cronies. The voting populus has lost it's influence with the deaf and dumb movers and shakers of our government. The question is; will the cure kill the patient? Can someone show us how to help?? Looks like there are several people here who would like to contribute to the cause. I fear that this is only the tip of the iceberg. The depth of corruption is very difficult for the public to see. That is why it is so deep. It has become part of the political culture. Is there a simple methode of cleaning this up or is it so mired into the system that all we can do is chip away at it?
