					<description><![CDATA[Judges also misuse cy pres funds to give money to their law school, or to religious groups, as papers like the Washington Post &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/12/16/AR2007121601433.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;
have pointed out.&lt;/a&gt;

They also use the money to bankroll liberal ideological causes.  As I &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/12/21/AR2007122102123.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;noted in the Washington Post,&lt;/a&gt;

&quot;The problem is even worse in state courts than it is in federal courts.  In California, for example, state judges use class-action settlements for ideological purposes. Settlements intended to benefit consumers get paid instead to groups that lobby for affirmative action, hate-crimes laws, undocumented immigrants and public funding for abortion, even though many consumers have no interest in such political causes.&quot;
