You get the politicians you vote for. If you hate this, vote for the other candidate next time you get a chance. People voting in corrupt, captured incumbents because they don't want to 'waste their vote', or because they only vote along party lines, is the reason this stuff keeps happening. You could count on the courts, but ultimately you have a responsibility as a voter and can only pass the buck for so long.

>If you hate this, vote for the other candidate next time you get a chance. More like if you hate this, run for office yourself or get heavily involved in local politics and make sure someone worthwhile is running in the primaries for your chosen political party. Unfortunately without heavy local involvement by citizens who understand and care about the issues the process gets taken over by political machines and corporate money, just like Congress. Then you end up with a choice between (aside from mostly inconsequential culture war issues) two mostly indistinguishable establishment stooges to choose between in the general election.
