First of all, I don't believe the original article mentioned anything about


the Nazi stuff. I found that in a Dallas newspaper article relating to a zoning request 10 years ago.

Whether he gave anything to Crow is hard to prove, and actually beside the point.

The appearance of impropriety is different from a crime. It is a policy (and actually in the canon of ethics for all other Federal judges) that says that judges need to be above reproach and hold themselves to standards above those of other citizens for the purpose of protecting the court's reputation.

It is the same analysis with the disclosure requirements. Its nice to have a policy, but judges need to be aware of how things look to the public. If a Supreme Court justice can't make this call, then geez, man.
