    Literally, officially, it’s now entirely legal under federal law for officials to accept and even solicit bribes for specific services rendered, just so long as they do it after, rather than before, the service is rendered.

    They aren’t even pretending to be a legitimate court of law any more - they’re just a rubber-stamping service for the oligarchy.

        Yeah, they are actually just seeing how far they can go by now. This is a direct “Fuck you” right in our faces.

          And not a single one of us can or will do anything about it.

        There is no process or procedure that can undo these people. The system has failed us.

      There’s also nothing stopping them from taking a bribe for something they’ve already done if they do something else. “Hey, I’ll pay you for the books you banned if you make hrt illegal”

      Other way around. They can accept the bribe, but only after they have given whatever political favor they sold.
