John Schickel in the news
A news artical about the sitting Senator: "the goal of a recent lawsuit filed in federal court by a Kentucky state senator and two libertarian candidates. According to these men, a state law prohibiting lobbyists from donating money to legislators or candidates violates the First Amendment, as does a statute limiting the amount that regular citizens can donate. That argument fits neatly with the Roberts court’s theory that money equals speech. But the suit doesn’t stop at money: The plaintiffs also claim that a law barring gifts from lobbyists to legislators violates the legislators’ constitutional rights. The First Amendment’s sweeping promise of “the freedom of speech,” the plaintiffs argue, guarantees legislators the right to accept expensive meals and gifts from lobbyists eager to secure their votes.Kentucky’s ethics rules are fairly tight for a precise reason: Its Legislature was once the most corrupt in the country. An FBI investigation called Operation BOPTROT found in 1992 that 15 elected officials, including the speaker of the house, had literally sold their votes for money. In response, the Legislature eventually enacted tight ethics rules for both lawmakers and lobbyists. The plaintiffs, like so many First Amendment warriors these days, are looking to knock lobbyist donation bans and individual limitations, which would open the floodgates to a deluge of money in Kentucky elections."
