COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — All 34 judges on the Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court have been disqualified by Ohio's chief justice from hearing a lawsuit alleging corruption by the Republican party.

Chief Justice Thomas Moyer said on Tuesday the unusual move was necessary to eliminate any perception of bias by the court system that's dominated by Democrats. Moyer is a Republican.

Moyer said he will appoint a retired visiting judge from outside Cuyahoga County to the case

The suit accuses Gov. Bob Taft, other elected Republicans and the Ohio GOP of instituting a "pay-to-profit" system in which millions of dollars were raised by trading unbid state contracts for campaign contributions.

So Chief Justice Thomas Moyer removed all the democrats since it was "necessary to eliminate any perception of bias." :roll:
 
Wait... so they're making a panel of Republicans to judge if other republicans are crooked? And this is REMOVING bias?

Yep. Clearly, no rational person could EVER see any sort of bias in a setup like that.

They're letting it go to their head, that's what usually happens when parties have total control. A good example is what's currently happening to the liberal party in canada, they completely controlled the federal government and become extremely arrogant in the process, now they're fighting for their lives in a country where their social policies are much more favourable to the population than the conservative challengers.
