Law known as 666? Bribery After The Fact is Now Legal? How Poetic.

So as long as the bribe comes after instead of before then it's legal? What kind of dumb @$$ ruling is that?

Oh well? You better have all your ducks in a row. And all of the unfettered and absolutely concrete solid evidence before you end up losing the case?

It could impact a lot more than that. Bribery is legal now. I'm gonna buy me a politician, they're actually going for pretty cheap these days.

The same court that greenlit Citizens United is going to high-horse others with financial ethics...? They could've rejected Citizen's United if they didn't want to waste their time with such pettiness?

Govt' officials allowed kick backs? It’s political, and ugly and compromising. Scotus should do more good than harm. They aren’t.

The officer wasn't asking for a bribe was just asking for a gift in order for you not to get a ticket there's nothing wrong with that anymore

Making it easier to get those “gifts”, always a bipartisan effort.🤑
