"Quid-pro-quo bribery isn't the issue. The corrupt politicians who accept bribes are the issue."

This isn't how we do legal policy. We wouldn't say "all bribery laws are gone, we'll just make sure that we don't have any politicians that accept bribes some other way."

Well, you're kind of right. Bribery disguised as lobbying is the issue, not lobbying itself.
