"Dunning lobbyists for golf trips to Scotland is corruption. Stashing $90,000 in a freezer after taking bribes for manipulating bureaucrats is corruption. But spending money to urge people to call a senator is not. What should be on trial is the whole notion that lawmakers can tell citizens what they can and can't say come campaign time."
