    Basically, Roberts is saying, "I'm a judge, and I know that money would corrupt me, but legislators? Naaaaah."

    The chief justice's statement already implies that politicians are corrupted, and since the public perception of them is that politicians are generally corrupt, they can proceed with their corruption, while judges cannot.

    Great, now why don't they go and supply the same logic to congressmen, because it still effects a ton of lives.

    So that ruling basically says; you're not allowed to buy a judge because that might influence the way they rule but buying a politician is okay because politicians only work for their supporters... are these judges fucking insane or just retarded?

    Judges uphold the law and therefore are impartial to it. The legislative branch makes the law and are suppose to be baised toward there constituents. Money is speech. IT is. Why else does everyone get mad? Because they have a strong voice!! The problem

    We need to vote 3rd party, for someone like Bernie Sanders who's willing to change the system. And vote in Democrats and Independents that actually want to take care of the everyday American and help the middle class and poor achieve financial success.
