This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat
We must get big money out of politics.
It is the root of our dysfunction.

Now: A leaked memo from Justice Secretary David Lammy said that there was “no right” to jury trials & suggested only having juries for murder and rape cases!
