“Instead of limiting the amount of money a lobbyist may spend on wining and dining congressional members and staff, eliminate it entirely,” says Abramoff, himself guilty of once having lavished contributions, meals, event tickets, travel, golf and jobs on federal officials. “No finger food, no snacks, no hot dogs. Nothing.”

The ex-lobbyist also proposes eliminating the “lure of post-public service lobbying employment,” suggesting anyone who served in Congress or as a congressional aide should be “barred for life” from lobbying the government.
I really agree w/ that last point :)
Jack Abramoff - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
College Republican National Chairman
After graduating from Brandeis, Abramoff ran for election as chairman of the College Republican National Committee (CRNC). After a campaign which cost over $10,000 and was managed by Grover Norquist, Abramoff won the election after the chief competitor, Amy Moritz (who later, as Amy Ridenour, became a founding director of the National Center for Public Policy Research, and was involved in several trips funded by Jack Abramoff), was persuaded to drop out.
 
None of that is going to do a damn bit of good when the justice branch of the government doesnt do its job.

Biggest problem americans have is 0 accountability.
 
This is what happens when you vote Republican.

You get a Supreme Court that is a wholly owned subsidiary of Corporate Greed, Inc.

And when we vote Democrat we get.... what that is different? Nada. Other than a slightly different 'special interest'. Maybe it is time to review how SC judges are appointed. Radical!

There are currently regulations on how much can be given to politicians and that they have to report gifts.

The complication is in the Constitution: The United States Constitution explicitly provides for 'the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances'" in the First Amendment.

The Warren Court's special interest was the People; the Robert's Court's special interest is business. Both Chief Justices were Republicans; why such a difference?

Good observation ;)
