David Fletcher comments on a new eGovernment study, that indicates it's a "plus" to have all state Web pages grouped under a portal header. Not so. The judicial branch is an independent branch of government that is constrained by rules governing judicial conduct that mandate impartiality, and avoiding the appearance of impropriety in all judicial activities. The judicial branches of state governments hear and decide cases involving the executive branch all the time. By permitting a portal header that advertises state goods and services to appear at the top of all judicial branch pages, the separation of powers is diluted. Imagine a judicial branch docket page relating to the legality of, say, Sunday hunting, where a portal header advertises hunting license seervices. This may appear to a visitor that the court has permitted one side of the case to "advertise" on the judicial branch page. It's best to keep the branches of government separate and independent, even on the Web.
