  In late January, a consumer watchdog group called Texas Watch filed ethics complaints against three Texas Supreme Court Justices. The complaints allege that the justices violated state judicial ethics rules by using campaign contributions to reimburse themselves for personal travel.

  While we’ll need to wait for the results of the investigation, these justices are far from the first to be accused of improperly dipping into a large campaign war chest. Under Merit Selection, judicial campaign contributions, and the temptation to misuse them, are eliminated.

More information about the ethics complaints is available here and here.
