A federal judge nominated to the U.S. Circuit Court owned stock in corporations involved in lawsuits brought before him.
  • Is This Judge Payne a relation to Judge Payne in the rocket-docket court in the Eastern District of Virginia?

    The Judge Payne of ...Virginia may have violated the same Federal Law while trading on Micron Technologies (MU). Since this Judge Payne of Virginia was involved in the Infineon vs Rambus case, and since Infineon has pleaded guilty in the DOJ criminal conspiracy in price fixing rdram, one now wonders what has been this man's stock trading activity just before the Infineon case, during and to the present time and foreward where 2 other conspirators, Samsung and Micron are now involved in his Eastern District of Virginia Federal Court. Billions of dollars are at stake in these court proceedings and I am appalled that this behavior refuses to be prosecuted at the Federal Level. It is my understanding that there is a grass-roots campaign in one of the Dakota's forcing judges to be accountable for the job or otherwise opening them to be sued. Since the Federal Government now chooses to no longer obey the Law of the Land with malfeisance and its associated behaviors, this Dakota law could not come anytime too soon.
