MAJOR judicial ruling

The US Supreme Court has ruled that it is NOT OK to bribe elected judges with campaign contributions. While this should seem like an obvious decision, we here in Wisconsin just look back at two recent elections that were bought by corporate interests, putting horrible and corrupt candidates Ziegler and Gableman on our state's highest court.

Even more telling was the Supreme Court's dissenters. All 4 justices that are widely viewed as completely politically-driven appointments voted against. (there are legitimate arguments that Thomas' independent streak should keep him off the list, but on political issues most important to the GOP, he is usually in alignment)

Let me make it clear what that last paragraph means. Supreme Court Justices Roberts (Chief), Alito, Scalia and Thomas are on record saying that it is OK for an individual or corporation to donate massive amounts of money to get a judge elected, and for that judge to decide cases regarding that person or company. Bribery is OK with the hard-right Republican wing of the Supreme Court.
