Update on Judge Edward Nottingham
It looks like U.S. District Judge Edward Nottingham's days on the bench are coming to an end. The latest relevations come from a prostitute filed an ethics complaint against the judge alleging he asked her to lie about paying her for sex.

Denver Chief U.S. District Court Judge Edward Nottingham resigned to end the judicial misconduct investigations against him.
There are now five other public federal judicial misconduct investigations pending. [ U.S. Magistrate Judge Alan J. Baverman, U.S. District Court Judge Samuel Kent, U.S. District Court Judge Thomas Porteous, U.S. District Court Judge Manuel Real, and Chief U.S. Circuit Judge Alex Kozinski].
It appears Magistrate Judge Alan J. Baverman will likely be the next to resign [ see http://BavermanMisconduct.com ] as his judicial complaint warranted the formation of a judicial investigative committee for supported allegations of extortion of $1,000,000, obstruction of justice, witness tampering, perjury and threats of violence.
According to a recent October 13, 2008 article -- there have only been 18 federal investigative committee formed in response to the 1,454 federal judicial complaints filed in the U.S. over the last few years [ see http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/front/6054972.html ]. This article describes the federal judicial misconduct investigative process.
The frequent corruption headlines relating to the financial markets and politics should be a lesson to us all --- we should always act to rid ourselves of corruptions instead of limiting our actions to only instances that very directly affect our own lives. Unchecked corruption does eventually affect us all.
I hope readers of this post agree and will actually make an effort to ensure the pending judicial investigations receive a proper 'open-eye' investigation. Make some calls, send some emails, forward information to others who may actually make a difference, or volunteer your own efforts.
As Edmund Burke stated in 1770, "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing" and "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall one by one, an unpitied sacrifice in a contemptible struggle." These words are as true today as they were centuries ago.
Please do not sit idle. Do not allow our system of justice to follow the path of our financial system.
