Repubs take care of that Ethics Problem

[sellerbe]

WASHINGTON — House Republicans, overriding their top leaders, voted on Monday to significantly curtail the power of an independent ethics office set up in 2008 in the aftermath of corruption scandals that sent three members of Congress to jail.

The move to effectively kill the Office of Congressional Ethics was not made public until late Monday, when Representative Robert W. Goodlatte, Republican of Virginia and chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, announced that the House Republican Conference had approved the change. There was no advance notice or debate on the measure.

Looks like the first order of business was to de-nut the Democrats. The long line of stall tactics is gone.

With the possible exception of machine guns, how are the circumstances of your basic trashy ignorant white person likely to improve?

[AllenJwi]

In your opinion... Probably never.

It would be known as the Office of Congressional Complaint Review, and the rule change would require that “any matter that may involve a violation of criminal law must be referred to the Committee on Ethics for potential referral to law enforcement agencies after an affirmative vote by the members,” according to Goodlatte’s office.

...for potential referral to law enforcement agencies after an affirmative vote by the members....

Let that sink in for a sec. Ever hear of a little thing like 'above the law'?

Even Lyin' Ryan said : " Ugh, this might be a bit much boys "
