Below is an iron-clad standard, part of the Judeo-Christian values on which America was built. Let us recognize the freedom these values provide. (By the way, these values are all in the Bible. Another reason to read it every day.)

Deuteronomy 16:19-20
You shall not pervert justice; you shall not show partiality, nor take a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and twists the words of the righteous.
You shall follow what is altogether just, that you may live and inherit the land which the Lord your God is giving you.
