Ex-Judge Swore He Was Permanently Disabled, Collects Disability, And Works As A Lawyer!

True enough. Former Iowa Judge James A. Weaver swore in an affidavitthat he was permanently disabled. He's been receiving disability benefits from Iowa for more than 2 years. Yet he is running a private law firm and doing court-appointed work (paid for by the state of Iowa!) for indigent defendants. Crazy.
