How to Influence Judges
Members of Congress aren't the only public officials who take lavish trips paid for by special interests with stakes in their decisions. Federal judges accept junkets, too. They're just better at keeping it quiet. From 2002 through 2004, 160 federal judges took 331 trips under the guise of educational travel funded by groups interested in court rulings, according to a new study by Community Rights Counsel, an environmental advocacy group. Once rare, the number of the junkets has increased 45% since the early '90s.

| Federal judges - most of whom make $165,200 a year and all of whom have lifetime job security - have no business taking favors from private interests. If they don't have the sense to stop the practice themselves, Congress should decide for them. |
This is blatant bribery and just another example of unethical, dishonest behavior by public officials. If it's not illegal already, it should be. A judge who will accept these "favors" in exchange for leniency to a certain issue is contradicting his role and what he stands for in the judicial system, which is justice.

How To Influence Judges History & Civil Business Politics
Corruption and the abuse of our democracy.
America is a democracy, not an oligarchy(even though it acts like one). These judges should be fired and the special interests lobbyists should be arrested. But that will never happen because the majority of people in this country are selfish and greedy.
