In 2007 Congress tried to limit the influence of interest group by passing stricter laws on the actions that interest groups could use to influence policy because of a number of recent highly publicized scandals. The Senate barred gifts from lobbyists to Congressmen and women, Congress forced lobbying groups to disclose donations given to politicians and groups they controlled, as well as bundled lobbying contributions (when multiple lobbies or lobbyists support a campaign or politician) were more closely scrutinized. The goal was to reign in the influence of lobbyists in Congress.

Also, the specific text that can be used to dispute or to counter this action under Amendment # 6 is: “In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation and to have the assistance of counsel for his defense”.  In this scenario, Jackie was not informed regarding the accusation for which she was being charged and arrested nor she was provided with the means or assistance to request a lawyer.
