The first thing I look for when thinking about corruption is whether there's been a clear violation of the law. His veto of the nutritional supplement bill looks to me like a very clear violation of conflict of interest laws.

This has all the earmarks of corruption, especially with the double-dipping by his highest aides. I can't recall any other governor ever allowing that. Governors always make employees go off the government payroll when they start doing political work. But not Arnold. If a Democrat were doing this stuff, the Republicans would be screaming their heads off.

It certainly suggests a kind of corruption, not the kind of corruption that can be prosecuted under the bribery law but the kind that shows a manipulation of system,

When honor and the Law no longer stand on the same side of the line, how do we choose[?]

In an environment where the rule of law is still to be fully established, ensuring that there's no corruption is an extremely difficult thing to do.

Let us remember that slavery was always the law until some brave citizens stood up and said, 'This is not right.'
