thanks to the latest SCOTUS ruling the power has really slid back into the hands of the people doing the bribing. the poor politicians can no longer take the money up front to commit crimes, they have to wait until after they've done the crime, and then get paid for it. It used to be the other way around! Now they can just be left out to dry by the person or company who originally claimed they were going to bribe them! What a sad day for this country and its public servants.
