I just heard a story about the governor of Illinois donating (double the legal limit) to two different judges' campaigns, who are then going on to rule on things like injunctions against the governor's unconstitutional dictates.
We have rules. Politicians just don't care about them. And not enough people care that they don't care, so they can keep doing it.
TL;DR: Things are really fucked.
