Thanks for the clarification, this federal judge might be saying.

Utah’s chief federal judge will not be disciplined for donating money to Barack Obama’s campaign.

Tenth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Robert Henry cleared U.S.
District Judge Tena Campbell in a decision posted last week. He did say
the donation was unethical but noted that Campbell had promised no
similar donations in the future.

So…never mind?

Campbell had earlier said she thought she was prohibited
only from taking “public action” supporting a candidate, not from
making private contributions.

I wonder if that kind of excuse would fly in her courtroom.
