Good behavior that is common or bad behavior that is common?

What are they talking about?

McDonnell and his wife are guilty as hell. The worst outcome of his case gaining a tie vote is how it stretches the rule of what's acceptable for public office. There can always be some reason someone gives you money and more and more,there's no penalty for malfeasance.

Lloyd Blankfein and his political recipients are dancing with joy. We will no longer be allowed to strike politicians with our crutches while they rob us.

...where he was staying and who was hosting him when he died?

I doubt the Supreme Court is going to help you or me out of speeding ticket.

To Mcdonnell's case, whack l!!!

Can private citizens initiate impeachment proceedings - or at very least recall - against members of the Supreme Court who are willing to let Siegelman rot in jail but think Mcdonnell got a raw deal?

elected and un elected as well.

in many (most?) health care facilities from concern of favoritism, certainly we could allow our government employees to have an ethical standard that would rise to that of nursing homes ...

Hey have you read about all of the trips the members of the Supreme Court take that are paid for by some vested interest? Wonder how much of their reactions will be due to their own "outlook" vs. what the general public accepts as "bribes" etc.?

“cripple the ability of elected officials to fulfill their role in our representative democracy.”

It's all OK unless you're willing to call it bribery, but calling it what it is would fill our prisons with politicians.

Supremes would take a look at what's happened since Citizens United and try to rein it in with this case.

Damn!!!!!

wrong giving a 20,000 dollar watch, pay for a wedding, asking for some favors on the side about getting vitamins, it just fine and dandy------------------wink------------- wink.

Hell, lets all go to the Koch, Pope, Aldelson, Devos, ect... get together's or any other get together's from both parties and see what happening, in the world of the ALEC class for example, of how to have one form of justice for the peons and another form of justice for the wealthy professional class-----------------that's the ticket.
The peoples federal government is just over reaching when it comes to bribery and fraud---------------damn.

"Justices on both sides of the ideological divide expressed concern about federal corruption laws that could criminalize what they variously called “routine” or “everyday” actions that politicians perform for campaign contributors or supporters who have provided them with gifts. "

"Roberts also noted a brief filed on McDonnell’s behalf by former White House counsels to the past five presidents, including President Obama, that said upholding McDonnell’s conviction would “cripple the ability of elected officials to fulfill their role in our representative democracy.”

Lets look at how to make bribery easier -------------------A----OK, give me a 20,000 dollar watch----------------wink, wink, because it may "cripple representative democracy", what a bunch of horse-
