Description
The U.S. Supreme Court is currently examining the proper standard for determining impartiality when elected state judges accept campaign contributions from parties who later find themselves in a dispute before the judge. At the same time, in an effort to close the "revolving door" in Washington, President Obama has insisted that any executive branch agency official must be disassociated from an industry regulated by, or doing business with, his or her agency for two years prior to public service. (He waived the ban a few short weeks after taking office on the basis that the rule was impractically narrow in the search for particular talent in the Department of Defense.)
