    Bought and paid-for Supreme Court. Pathetic, sad, and scary.

        It’s always been amazing to look at the lobbyists donation amounts to senators to see how cheaply they can be bought.

          I dont know why everyone assumes it has to be like millions. They already make decent money, and then they feel entitled to this extra compensation, its less about the amounts and more about precedent

            I’m sure in many cases they’d do it for free because they agree in general, it’s just looks strange to see values in the hundreds by these absolutely behemoth companies.

              Yeah you start to wonder if the companies almost have to take advantage or be accused of not pursuing profits for their shareholders.

              I think a lot of this bribery stuff only becomes officially illegal later on as well, so maybe they feel they are in a sort of grey area thats defensible.
