Howard Bashman has several posts which cover the developments out of the Eighth Circuit regarding an ethics complaint filed against a Sixth Circuit judge based on the judge's involvement with a "libertarian" think tank (which enjoys significant corporate ties/funds).

The complaint, filed by the Community Rights Counsel, was dismissed by another judge last week for lack of merit.

Mr. Bashman links to today's editorial in the WSJ which, not surprisingly, praises the decision.
