Supreme Court issues token reasonable ruling

WASHINGTON, DC ―As part of their ongoing mission to fool ridiculously gullible centrists into thinking that their rulings are rooted in respectable legal theory and not right-wing dogma, the Supreme Court recently issued its token semi-reasonable ruling.

    Checks out, since they have to distract from ruling that gratuities aren’t bribes.

      Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. Why yes, the curtain is big enough to fit a Winnebago!

      I was just going to post that, it seems more like the onion:

      Supreme Court wipes out anti-corruption law that bars officials from taking gifts for past favors

      In ruling for the former mayor, the justices drew a distinction between bribery, which requires proof of an illegal deal, and a gratuity that can be a gift or a reward for a past favor. They said the officials may be charged and prosecuted for bribery, but not for simply taking money for past favors if there was no proof of an illicit deal.
