I also hold Supreme Court justices to a higher standard than legislators. So do many members of the legal profession and the public at large.Matt Eichelbergerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03518932804450447938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6111449885694140250.post-12512056993365133132012-10-04T08:45:50.075-05:002012-10-04T08:45:50.075-05:00Nice commentary from you Matt, since you weren'...Nice commentary from you Matt, since you weren't there. But - not surprisingly you leave out the more interesting facts that came from this exchange. <br /><br />After Banks raised the issue of Waller taking PAC money, in the questions part of the program, Banks was asked if he has accepted PAC money as a legislator. <br /><br />Banks acknowledged that he had - but that he didn't think it ok for a judge, although acknowledging that both were perfectly legal. But Banks, in trying to address why one was ok and the other (in his opinion, not) was that he thought judges should be representing people, not corporations. <br /><br />He failed to address the question - while a legislator, was he not elected to "represent people"?Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08002540066557596070noreply@blogger.com
