[EL] WARNING: SNARK AHEAD RE: Supreme Court and campaign finance

[JBoppjr at aol.com]

As Trevor's "example" demonstrates, there is a lot of sloppy, vague and  
broad language used by "reformers" here.  So, as to Joe's hypo, who get the  
$100K -- assuming it does not violate any contribution limits?  Jim

Sure does. What if a US senator (also a public official) raises the same  
$100k from the same sources for a private ski weekend in Aspen all paid by  
campaign funds. Still a bribe?

Can the Director of the IRS -- a government official -- charge and  pocket 
$100,000 for a meeting with him at IRS headquarters?  Sounds  like a bribe

Now *this* is an interesting way to start a long holiday weekend.  Serious 
question: this is "already illegal" under what law?

Trevor, you are so silly.  This is already illegal and should  be.  Jim
