The constitution has always been ignored if capital deems it expedient
We had a good run, a solid century or two. In the 70s, the FBI would nail reps for taking bribes (Abscam).
Now, there's no reason to bribe illegally, we have Super PACs and shell companies for such things, and it's ALL LEGAL, so it's not even "corruption". GOOD JOB
