The search for an agreeable judge has gone on for a long time. One reason the Kochs are so antigovernmental is that Rockefellers (Standard Oil) stole their patented refining techniques, and the court wouldn’t convict them. Turns out Rockefeller bribed the judge…and Fred finally prevailed. That bit of corruption has cost us all dearly.
In fact, Sarah Chaye’s book about corruption goes into some detail about the current corruption. A Virginia governor received free plane rides, a $75,000 shopping spree, etc. The lower courts convicted him of corruption. The SCOTUS *unanimously* let him off the hook. Legalized bribery is apparently how we conduct public policy now.
