Every day
there is another article about court opinion reversals. The latest has to do with lower court actions
in Atlanta dealing with Burrell Ellis, the DeKalb County CEO who was convicted
of extorting campaign contributions from county contractors. The Georgia Supreme Court objected to the
lower court’s refusal to let other contractors serve as defense witnesses. This Supreme Court opinion suggests that the
contractors who felt extorted were either “snow-flakes”, who needed a “safe
room” or were political enemies using fundraising calls as an excuse to get rid
of Ellis.
The real
problem is that contractors are allowed to make campaign contributions in the
first place. Voters should be the only ones who could make legal campaign
contributions and only for those candidates who appear on their ballot.
