The (Democratic) Luzerne County judicial scandal is a good excuse to post a link to Bob Surrick's book about Pa. corruption.
He took it seriously and found that state Supreme Court Judge Rolf Larson was about as dirty as dirty can be and took him on. Well, the whole system came down on Bob and he was eventually disbarred and his whole life was made a hell.
Larson was eventually removed from the bench but it turned out most of the rest of the court wasnt any better.
There are few free chapters in that link. Last I heard, Bob is living in Costa Rica.
His brother Barclay is a federal judge and Bob does not speak well of him and Barclay was the one who heard and dismissed the first citizenship case against Obama.

What? A dhimmicrat state has corrupt judges? Hmmm, perhaps they should all go to Illinois and get instructions on how to eliminate corruption.
After all, look at the honest, moral president they just gave us.
I was born in Kingston way back when. Remember Dan Flood? The place has always seemed corrupt. The organized crime? Sheesh. Don’t know if their still there, but used to be.
Arguably it was the territory for the most powerful don in the country.
Gentleman Dan Flood; remember him well. He and Joe McDade (from Scranton) DEFINED 20th century crooked politics. These are 2 men that Pelosi, Reid, Clinton, and Obama can idolize.
I encourage everyone who notices a thread related to Pennsylvania corruption to add “pacorruption” as a keyword.
