<p>One of the most significant arguments contained in Supreme Court&#8217;s recent decisions on campaign finance is the narrow definition of corruption. Chief Justice John Roberts writes that the Court can only concern itself with &#8220;quid pro quo&#8221; corruption. While he doesn&#8217;t define exactly what it is, he makes clear that their definition doesn&#8217;t include buying influence, access or ingratiation, and doesn&#8217;t consider the possibility of any privileged treatment or &#8220;return on investment&#8221; as a result. Last week&#8217;s cartoon was also on the <a href="http://thegabbler.com/drawn-aside/2014/04/04/money-talks-louder/">Supreme Court decision</a>.</p>
