It's nice to be able to blame something on a culture, but the reality is that some percentage of people are somewhere on the spectrum of morality where they are prone to doing this. I don't imagine judges are a particularly amoral group, despite being lawyers, but politicians certainly are. I'm always dumbfounded when people want to give politicians more power.

To be fair, if all politicians were always morally rooted in the center of the law, nothing would ever change. No marijuana, no gay marriage. Or more appropriate: There’s a certain overlap of laws (and constitutional rights) that blur the edge of law (here: pursuit of happiness for the judge’s vs. corruption of justice).
