re: #74 McSpiff

I can’t speak for the American legal system, or anything at the federal Supreme Court level, but I can say in Canada, having something like this occur at the provincial level would probably result in that Judge not hearing cases until the matter is resolved. Even the appearance of hiding something is enough, even with otherwise well known, public information.

Especially if she had previously reported as required by law and then stopped after taking this employment.

I agree that appearances of impropriety are still an issue. In this case it would seem he is accused of hiding something already widely known. Still improper, but not something that should result in his removal if you ask me.
