A federal judge appointed by President Bill Clinton broke judicial rules to contribute to Sen. Barack Obama's presidential campaign on multiple occasions.
Utah's chief federal judge, Tena Campbell, violated the Judicial Code of Conduct and give hundreds of dollars to the Democratic Party nominee, the Salt Lake Tribune reported.
Federal Election Commission campaign disclosures reveal Campbell described herself as a "lawyer" employed by the government and gave $100 to Obama's campaign Aug. 28, 2007. She gifted additional funds totaling $300.
The seventh canon of the Judicial Code of Conduct states, "A judge should not … solicit funds for or pay an assessment or make a contribution to a political organization or candidate, attend political gatherings, or purchase tickets for political party dinners, or other functions."
According to the Tribune, Cynthia Gray, an ethics expert with the American Judicature Society, said judges are not supposed to show partisanship.

Anything goes.
No. Heaven forbid that we should hold our judges or "ruling elite" accountable. She should be forced to step down.
Well, outside of Utah, it won’t make the papers.

I wonder how many cases will be appealed now that this judge has shown her bias?
Shocked...Shocked there is lawbreaking by the lawmakers going on here. Just Shocking.
Well, she sorta told the truth. To be a Judge she had to be a “lawyer” first and she is employed by the government.

She’s a liberal. Ain’t got to follow no rules.
...why is this shocking now? Obama’s boys are breaking rules left and right.
I’m sure this judge will apologize for getting caught and life will go on...
