Or, your wife tells you she made $50,000, but she really made $60,000 (she put $10,000 in her secrete divorce account because you take her for granted and don't buy her flowers any longer similar to Baraka-G outlook involving politicians), and you get impeached???

When tis my wife and i'm a supreme court judge? Are you joking? Yes of course, I'd be certain of it. No, it would be a discussion before I even took the bench obviously. If i dot his there are certaint hings we cant do, is that okay? Now your being hyperbolic. Those examples are not indicative of what we are talking about here... really? This is about hiding money from the wrong people for the wrong reasons. In public service your accounts and activities should be just that public. Dont like it, dont run. it serves a very distinct and good purpose to make sure your not getting money from or giving money to the wrong kinds of things, things that create a conflict of interest. Thats the point. Conflicts of interest. Thats what this is. We're talking hundreds of thousands and considerable influence. It wouldnt matter to me if they were FOR the cause, its not right.
