Corruption.
Our government, our system, has become deeply corrupt.
Imagine if the president of South Africa sued his own government for 10 billion dollars? Or if judges there were flying all over on private jets on vacations as gifts from billionaires. We would take it as conclusive evidence of another corrupt African government. Well, if the shoe fits…. We should call it corruption, loudly and repeatedly.
