Almost heaven.
holy shit they're all criminals what the fuck how did this even happen
One of the justices (before these articles, it's a five member body) resigned already, something good though: Under the West Virginia Constitution as exists presently, the budget of the judicial branch is not subject to outside review like that of the legislative of executive branches. In November 2018, voters will consider a consitutional amendment that would subject the judiciary's budget to oversight as part of the budget process used by the rest of state government.
Politician and criminal are almost completely interchangable.
