Post House Republicans secretly vote to gut Office of Congressional Ethics c6thplayer1
Great move. We dont need ethics now that our Ethical party has taken over. Besides , what republican ever committed misconduct? Shocked

Quote:
In a secret vote held behind closed doors Monday night, House Republicans voted to cripple the Office of Congressional Ethics, an independent body created in 2008 to rein in corruption and other misconduct by members of Congress.

The update is that the Republicans have withdrawn the ethic changes (FOR NOW).

Guess you can tell what their priorities are now. But we already knew that.

Until we get a different class of people in office the beatings will continue.		 Hon. Dr. in Acts-celeratology

How does it work? Did they want ethics investigations reported to Congress, rather than reported to the public or law enforcement directly by this office? I could understand that.

They could end up with an entity they created as a political power broker, influencing elections by releasing information right before the election. That sounds familiar.

Godly Republicans voted in by Evangelicals surely wouldn't need anyone checking up on them. Just a waste of money. Laughing Acts Enthusiast
