      The fact that a terrible system is being used by both good and bad actors does not mean the system should be protected.

      Corruption isn’t only on one side.

        Hmm, my point is more that lobbying the government is essentially the same as petitioning the government, which is a protected right for good reason. While we could certainly be doing more to clamp down on kickbacks (e.g. Clarence Thomas), to ban lobbying wholesale would be to throw out the baby with the bathwater.
