I still don't understand how this is legal.

 

It’s long overdue to require members of Congress to either divest themselves or put their investments into blind trust.

 

Agreed, I think politicians and judges should be above board, they have proved they can't be trusted, and I am sure it's more than a few bad apples on both sides. In this day and age, they will eventually get exposed but its normally too late, put harsh penalties in place, if you break the rules, you are automatically out, they cannot police themselves and they have shown they wont throw out the bad apples
