Obama has committed his second impeachable and criminal bribery in just two weeks time. First he bribed a democrat to not run against Specter in Pennslyvania by promising him he would make him secretary of the navy if he dropped out of the race. That is a felony.
Now he has congressman Jim Matheson at the white house to convince him to change his vote on the healthcare monstrosity and lo and behold, he just coincidently appointed the congressman's brother to the federal bench on the same day as that meeting.
Obama turned down Scott Matheson's request to be appointed to that position back in June. He wasn't good enough then but now that Obama needs another vote he gets the lifetime appointment.
"Whoever solicits or receives … any….thing of value, in consideration of the promise of support or use of influence in obtaining for any person any appointive office or place under the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both." -- 18 USC Sec. 211 -- Bribery, Graft and Conflicts of Interest: Acceptance or solicitation to obtain appointive public office
