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.
It's long past time to flush these turds
Yeah, they are actually just seeing how far they can go by now. This is a direct "Fuck you" right in our faces.
There is no process or procedure that can undo these people. The system has failed us.
Well there is, but it's illegal and these bastards sure ain't gonna endanger their own lives.
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"
just so long as they do it after, rather than before, the service is rendered.
Other way around. They can accept the bribe, but only after they have given whatever political favor they sold.
Right. Go back and reread it - that's what I said.
That's the other way of saying the same thing.
