It really wouldn’t have been. All you need is to get enough judges in the bench who will say it’s an unconstitutional law. That’s it. The US Supreme Court just decided that bribing an official is legal as long as the payment for the action happens after the favor has been granted. If you give a judge $10k to influence his opinion court that is illegal. If you give the judge a wink and pay him the $10k after he delivers his opinion, that’s just gratuity and is perfectly fine. Work hard enough and long enough and you can get enough justices vetted by a very specific organization and all sort of things are possible. https://apnews.com/article/supreme-court-public-corruption-bribery-89774f1e3cd6f1a353718b7ce3ff18a0# https://apnews.com/article/supreme-court-public-corruption-b... > The high court’s 6-3 opinion along ideological lines found the law criminalizes bribes given before an official act, not rewards handed out after. > “Some gratuities can be problematic. Others are commonplace and might be innocuous,” Justice Brett Kavanaugh wrote. The lines aren’t always clear, especially since many state and local officials have other jobs, he said. > The high court sided with James Snyder, a Republican who was convicted of taking $13,000 from a trucking company after prosecutors said he steered about $1 million worth of city contracts to the company.
