In fact, many of them are the corrupting factors that are increasing the rot within the Republic. Not that some of them aren’t redeemable, just that they don’t seem to want to be redeemed.</p> What is wrong with these people is that they have no moral character and little understanding of what a legal institution is supposed to do when it becomes corrupted.
