PA Supreme Court

Leage of Women Voter's Suit against PA Supreme Court

So I notice no talk about this here yet but the accusations in the League of Women Voter's suit against former PA Supreme Court Justice Ralph Cappy are startling if true. The suit accuses Cappy of a jaw-droppingly cavalier attitude towards the separation between the state legislature and the PA Supremes. Essentially they say that Cappy negotiated in no uncertain terms, trading pay raises for the judiciary, including himself, in trade for finding Act 71, the gaming legislation, constitutional.

Quoting John Baer's handy summary from the Daily News:

The League of Women Voters, in a 17-page federal civil action, alleges that in its challenge to the state's 2004 gambling law, its right to due process was violated by a too-cozy, inappropriate relationship between the Legislature and the state judiciary.
