But the study does look back at decades of corruption cases, including Operation Greylord -- a federal probe of the Cook County Court system that ended with 15 judges, 47 lawyers and 24 police officers and court personnel convicted of crimes. The most notorious was Judge Thomas J. Maloney, convicted of taking bribes to fix felony cases, including murder.

This brings to mind a recent email I received:

“Advice on Term Limits: Limit all US politicians to two terms.

One in office
One in prison

Illinois already does this.”

That will take a whole lot of study to do the research to go back far enough to when it first began to be a problem!!!

The only surprise is that the UofI-Chicago (Ayers’s base) unertook the study, much less published it. The profs and students better watch their backs.
