Federal Court Judge To Resign Over Distribution Of Racist Anti-Obama E-mail
Judge admits to very poor judgment.
by Long Island Attorney Paul A. Lauto, Esq.
Federal Court Judge Richard Cebull, under pressure to step down, has decided to resign his position as chief judge for the District of Montana. In February, Judge Cebull who was originally nominated by President George W. Bush, admittedly passed along a racist anti-Obama email to seven people from his official courthouse e-mail address. Naturally, one wonders what kind of e-mail was so bad that it caused the federal judge to resign.
The e-mail was reportedly entitled "A Mom's Memory" and allegedly read as follows:
"Normally I don't send or forward a lot of these, but even by my standards, it was a bit touching. I want all of my friends to feel what I felt when I read this. Hope it touches your heart like it did mine."
