Thanks. Lost track of his case.

But notice that the briber gets a more severe sentence than that of the person in a position of public trust.

Just the opposite of what I believe should be the case.

I agree, we need to pass a Constitutional Amendment that would require public officials that are convicted of taking a bribe to serve one year for every dollar of money they took.

William Jefferson would serve 90.000 years. Duke Cunningham would serve somewhere around a million years in prison.
