From the "Isn't Legal Reasoning Glorious?" Dept:

"The chief justice of Texas's state Supreme Court, meanwhile, has gone through verbal hoops to explain how he
and seven of his fellow judges accepted almost $100,000 in electoral campaign money from Enron over the past eight years, even as they presided over cases in which Enron had a direct interest in the outcome. Intriguingly, Chief Justice Tom Phillips argues that the real impropriety would be to return the money. "To return contributions now from one group years after they were made," he said in a formal statement that must rank as one of the great classics of weaselly self-justification, "could signal that the justices had prejudged any dispute against Enron that might come before us."
