Americans are finally starting to figure out that corruption is alive and well here.
I doubt anyone has had impressions of the US government otherwise, though the popular view of lobbyists handing out bags of cash is very shallow. What is new is viewing the supreme court as not being above the fray. That's also the sort of genie that doesn't go back into the bag.
You would be incorrect. A lot of Americans have long held this idea that other countries have a lot of corruption (not all of them, but some) in a way that the US surely never could.
