quote:Henry E. Hudson, the federal judge in Virginia who just ruled health care reform unconstitutional, owns between $15,000 and $50,000 in a GOP political consulting firm that worked against health care reform.
he owns a sizable chunk of Campaign Solutions, Inc., a Republican consulting firm that worked this election cycle for John Boehner, Michele Bachmann, John McCain, and a whole host of other GOP candidates who've placed the purported unconstitutionality of health care reform at the center of their political platforms.
Campaign Solutions was instrumental in the launching of Sarah Palin's PAC (though Palin has since split with the firm), and Ken Cuccinelli, the Virginia attorney general who filed the lawsuit that Hudson ruled in favor of today , paid Campaign Solutions $9,000 for services rendered in 2010.

Now, the rest of the story. Campaign Solutions is not an advocacy organization. They provide technical assistance and advice to various campaigns, not just the GOP.

Gawker either knowingly lied, or posted their information in error. Either, is a serious breach of professional responsibility. Just, as would a judge not recusing himself, if actually profiting by an advocacy group.
