Re: Supreme Court???

[QUOTE= footballdude See ProfileWhy would someone with a lifetime appointment to a high paying and highly prestigous job risk impeachment by taking a bribe? Any bribe big enough to buy someone in that position couldn't be held secret for very long.

Its not a bribe when some lobbyist gives *gifts*.

People lobby Congress but I don't think I've ever heard of someone lobbying Supreme Court Justices.

You can't lobby a judge. A judge must be impartial. It's a felony offense to even suggest a bribe to even the lowest of judges. I don't feel that a federal anti-spyware bill would overrule a state bill if the state bill had broader limits. The state has the right to build upon existing federal statutes. If there was a federal law specifically stating that spyware was legal, then that would overrule the Utah law. The constitutionality of this law would go to the Utah supreme court first--since it will appear in their annotated laws/codes.
