Perhaps as much as we worry about financially unfettered lobbying and political contribution, there appears no acceptable local grounds to put firm dollar limits on these expenses.
In the pugilistic arena, there have been a few unpalatable split decisions, as judges ponder number of punches landed, strength of hits, and who was more aggressive.
And we yield to a 5-4 split decision that would cause acquittal in many court cases. There appeared no great publicity during this pondering. Is it OK if I wonder where there were limits to the financing of the legal arguments before our Supreme Court?
