Judicial discipline commission compares SCOTUS ethical lapses to state judges’ disclosure violations

Colorado Politics: In an unusually detailed and strongly worded report, Colorado’s judicial discipline body made clear on Friday that dozens of judges broke the law by failing to file financial disclosure statements on time, but that not every instance merited discipline in light of related behavior from the nation’s highest court.

The Colorado Commission on Judicial Discipline disclosed it had admonished 27 judges, to some degree, out of 48 who did not properly submit their disclosures. The commission defended its decision not to impose public discipline on any judge based on the circumstances of each case, and cited reports of U.S. Supreme Court justices failing to report the entirety of their own personal finances.
