Texas Supreme Court Justice Nathan Hecht-Still Corrupt- and Now Ethics Complaint Against Him.

You know who Nathan Hecht is, right? The ex-boyfriend of Harriett Miers who has been looked at before for being unethical (click on the tag for Hecht below-'cuz we've written him up more than once!) . Oh, and Miers? Yeah, she's the Bush sycophant that he wanted to make a supreme court justice, to conservative horror, and who has contempt of Congress charges against her right now. Back to Hecht.  Here's what he's done RECENTLY.

Texas Supreme Court Justice Nathan Hecht said Wednesday that he used campaign cash to pay for dozens of flights to his hometown last year because he was campaigning, even though he's not up for re-election until 2012.

Hecht is the third of nine Supreme Court justices to face similar campaign finance questions recently, in addition to Justices Paul Green and David Medina.

According to campaign finance reports, Hecht reported 48 payments to airlines for in-state trips last year and acknowledged that "a good bit" of them were for travel to his hometown of Carrollton, where he still owns a home and attends church.

Using political contributions for personal use is against state law, and the Texas Ethics Commission has interpreted the law to ban appellate judges from using campaign donations to pay the costs of commuting between the judge's home city and the city where the court is located.
