Cuccinelli: 'Cheap Shot' by Left on Judge Hudson Won't Deter Virginia Health Care Lawsuit

Published December 19, 2010 | FoxNews.com

....
Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli said some "lefty blogs" are trying to stir up discord over an alleged conflict of interest by Judge Henry E. Hudson, who ruled last week that the individual mandate in President Obama's signature domestic initiative is unconstitutional.

Shortly after Hudson delivered his ruling last week, critics called into question Hudson's impartiality since Hudson is a partial owner of Campaign Solutions, a political consulting company that Cuccinelli hired during his 2009 attorney general bid.

"That grenade came over the wall for some lefty blogs hours after the judge ruled that the United States couldn't get our case dismissed, well that's shocking timing on that," Cuccinelli told Fox News.
....

Critics first took note of Hudson's holdings last July. According to disclosure reports, he owns a $15,000-$50,000 stake in Campaign Solutions, which has been hired by several Republican candidates who've run their campaigns in part on defeating the new health care law. Reports show the judge made between $32,000 and $103,000 in profits from the company between 2003-2008.

The Huffington Post reported in July that Campaign Solutions issued a statement noting that Hudson has owned stock in the company since before he became a judge and since joining the federal bench has fully disclosed his stock ownership in the company.


So, people have been pointing this out for months. This is not something that started "hours after the judge ruled."

1. Cuccinelli is a birther. He backtracked on his statements, but,
He certainly is an idiot if he didn't investigate before he opened his yap.

Obama's Presidency
Cuccinelli at first publicly stated that it was possible that President Barack Obama was born in Kenya, and that the validity of any law that he signed could be challenged to raise the question of Obama's citizenship. In response to the controversy surrounding his statements, Cuccinelli on March 15, 2010, issued a statement clarifying that he believes that Obama was born in the United States.<103>
