around and take it? 
Great writing Boadicea Nice piece of work and a very entertaining read. However, we do diverge slightly.

I have a confession to make. I used to think John Cornyn was okay for a Republican. I grew up in AZ with Republicans like Barry Goldwater and Paul Fannin (okay, yes, and Evan Meacham, but nobody liked him by the time we got to know him) . These were Republicans we could fight like hell with and still respect as basically decent human beings. I thought John Cornyn was one of those when he was Atty General. I didn’t know at the time about his brush with the soon to be infamous Jack Abramoff.
Reagan,..... I liked Reagan; the Iranians responded to his election ascension to the Oval office. I didnt like Peter Grace but I liked Oliver North and I liked WATT they were doing in Central & South America. After all of the research into the Church Universal and residing in the richest diocese in the world, I don't know that I agree with it all now. As far as Ambramoff, we have to look to the origins. The Ambramoff "all we need is an Indian" establishment of Gambling rackets appears to materialize out of the creation of the Office of Indian Gaming Management
The Office of Indian Gaming Management, under the supervision of the Deputy Assistant Secretary-Indian Affairs for Economic Development and Policy, is responsible for implementing those gaming-related activities assigned to the Bureau of Indian Affairs by the Indian Gaming regulatory Act of 1988 and other Federal laws. The office develops policies and procedures for review and approval of: tribal/state compacts; per capita distributions of gaming revenues; and requests to take land into trust for purpose of conducting gaming. Work is coordinated with the National Indian Gaming Commission and with the state, local and tribal governments that may be impacted by gaming proposals.
In 1999 the manipulation of the original act begins and can be accessed by clicking this link.
The point being, Ambramoff's money and influence covers both sides of the aisle.
 With Junior John, he has never been a good guy; but he always twirls the policy and influence (that he controls) to project an image of goodwill and honesty. A false image, but a believable image if one can buy the outer shell without any research or due diligence to discover the reality (reasoning) of his actions.
Janus-faced - marked by deliberate deceptiveness especially by pretending one set of feelings and acting under the influence of another; "she was a deceitful scheming little thing"- Israel Zangwill; "a double-dealing double agent"; "a double-faced infernal traitor and schemer"- W.M.Thackeray
In example I submit Saldano v Texas where Junior John furnishes the disingenuous reasoning of civil rights violations to confess error.
