COLUMBUS Ohio House Democrats are calling on the state's Supreme Court Chief Justice Thomas J. Moyer to bar himself and four other justices from deciding on a public records lawsuit against Gov. Bob Taft, who has contributed about $27,000 to their campaigns since 2002.

Earlier this month, state Sen. Marc Dann, a Democrat from suburban Youngstown, sued the governor's office for documents that could shed light on the investment scandal at the Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation. Mr. Taft refused to release some information, including weekly cabinet reports, citing "executive privilege"

All seven members of the state's highest court, through their spokesman, have maintained that they will not recuse themselves from hearing Mr. Dann's case against the governor.

1. Ohio....where justice is enlightened croyism

2. Not even enlightened....just cronyism.

Someone needs to file a RICO lawsuit against the Supreme Court of Ohio. They are in "collusion" with the governor, who they are supposed to judge.

You know...kinda like the U.S. Supreme Court and the bush/cheney mob.
