Quotation of the Day for January 21, 2015"If any of the great corporations of the country were to hire adventurers who make market of themselves in this way, to procure the passage of a general law with a view to the promotion of their private interests, the moral sense of every right-minded man would instinctively denounce the employer and employed as steeped in corruption and the employment as infamous." - The U.S. Supreme Court, in the 1874 case Trist v. Child. The court invalidated a contract, reasoning that lobbyists ("adventurers") were injurious to the public interest. Submitted by: Mike Krawchuk Jan. 19, 2015  |
