@lessig@rickhasen@RepresentDotUs it is an observation of dependence corruption -
.
@Daniel_Stid@lessig@RepresentDotUs then why the talk of representatives "taking bribes?" of "selling out"? That's not what@lessig means -
@rickhasen@lessig@RepresentDotUs@thetrevorpotter b/c they are advocates seeking to rally a broader audience to engage on this issue -
.
@Daniel_Stid@lessig@RepresentDotUs@thetrevorpotter But it seems disingenuous to accuse Reps. of taking bribes when you don't mean it. -
@rickhasen@lessig@RepresentDotUs@thetrevorpotter IDK, word has everyday meaning beyond strict legal def. (1/2)http://www.thefreedictionary.com/bribe -
.
@Daniel_Stid@RepresentDotUs@thetrevorpotter Still corrosive and at odds with what@lessig is trying to argue about dependence corruption. -
@rickhasen@daniel_stid@representdotus@thetrevorpotter you're not reading carefully enough if that's what you think people are saying - 5 more replies
