The high court vacated the unanimous finding of the Richmond-based 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which had rejected McDonnell's arguments and upheld the guilty verdicts.
"There is no doubt that this case is distasteful; it may be worse than that," Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr., wrote in delivering the opinion for the court. "But our concern is not with tawdry tales of Ferraris, Rolexes, and ball gowns.

Thank God Joe had the story and it forced the prosecution! Had it not been for that, this event would have never been on the radar, and he'd still been in the running for the Judge position. Thank Joe for keeping his sources private, which he always does, which brings us these exclusive stories that the MSM would never dare to carry!
Thanks, Joe! You ROCK! Sunlight is soooooo healthy!
