In 2006 Republican lobbyist Jack Abramoff went to federal prison for his corruption crimes, revolving around use of Indian money to buy favors for Congressmen to vote for casinos.
In December 2008, the Illinois governor [[Rod Blagojevich]], a Democrat, was impeached and removed by the state legislature on corruption charges, and also given a criminal indictment in federal court. He had attempted to sell [[Barack Obama]]'s vacant senate seat to the highest bidder, and threatened to withhold funding from a children's hospital.<ref>httphttps://www.cnsnews.com/public/content/article.aspx?RsrcID=40593</ref>
Corruption is particularly prevalent among liberals within the [[judiciary]], who have been known to embrace and favor criminality, illegally persecute law-abiding citizens and legislate from the bench (even though they do not have the power to pass laws themselves). Legislation from the bench has, in particular, led liberal activist judges, acting on political motivation and/or personal feelings, to illegally impose [[same-sex marriage|same-sex "marriage"]] on states and, in the case of the liberal judges on the [[Supreme Court of the United States]] with [[Obergefell v. Hodges]], the entire country, as if it were "law" (with some of those judges later found to be in conflict of interest when they disclosed being homosexual themselves, as [[Vaughn Walker]] did, or when they were discovered to have officiated same-sex "marriages", as [[Elena Kagan]] and [[Ruth Bader Ginsburg]] did).
