A Crippling Case of Ethics Self-Enforcement
I recently wrote a
blog post about a false statements in elections law in Ohio, and
the problems with enforcing such laws. I have often written about the
problems with self-enforcement of ethics laws. In the Wisconsin case of
a state supreme court justice's misrepresentations in an election ad, the two
have come together, big-time. The result is far more injurious, even crippling, to public trust in the judiciary than the original misrepresentations.
