U.S. judge who gave money to Barack Obama won't be disciplined

SALT LAKE CITY - Utah's chief federal judge will not be disciplined for donating money to Barack Obama's campaign.
Tenth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Robert Henry cleared U.S. District Judge Tena Campbell in a decision posted last week.
He said the donation was unethical but noted that Campbell had promised no similar donations in the future.
The Federal Elections Commission says Campbell made the $100 contribution to the Obama campaign in August 2007.
Campbell had earlier said she thought she was prohibited only from taking "public action" supporting a candidate, not from making private contributions.
She did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment.
