Peter_Puget Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 Is a moral/ethical change really coming to Congress? How can we tell? Here is my suggestion: Background – Many months ago the Washington Post reported that as payback to the Congressional Black Caucus for helping her become Minority leader she would bypass ranking member Jane Harman and install second ranked Alcee Hastings as ranking member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. The story has never been denied. ( WP Link , His local paper confirms ) Hastings was impeached by the Democratically controlled House and thrown off the bench by the Democratically controlled Senate for bribery and perjury (3rd judge in the 20th century) Pelosi voted against him. I would also note that Hastings has hired on his congressional payroll his former attorney who was disbarred for misuse of client’s funds in 1992. Proposal – If we get wind that this is seriously being considered I say that Pelosi and fellow Dems has proven herself to be not to be agents of change. If it actually happens we are truly screwed.

counterfeitfake Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 Hey, PP appears to be trying to have an acutal discussion for once, complete with rational arguments and everything. Let's not just blindly hose him down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmknight Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 Since their inception, governments have been corrupt and ours is no different. A little party power shift isnt going to change anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
