Because of this, we're venerable to the same thing again.

The people are the term limits. I would do things, however, that make lengthy service in Congress unattractive. Doing away with seniority, rotating committee chairmanships twice every session, with the previous chairman precluded from serving as Chair again until every other majority member of the panel had served.

Same for states and locals. Our elected officials need to spend their time learning about the issues and deliberating, not having to go on constant campaigning mode in order compete monetarily. Get em in and get em out. If I were king, public financing for all elections (free public airwave tv time too), 2 terms for POTUS and Senate, 4 for House. Same for states and locals.

Murtha and his PMA crew; Waters and her multiple ethics challenges: Mollohan and the real estate. What this does show (which also isn't new) is that these guys and gals don't police themselves all that well. I do understand stepping back from an investigation if the Feds have some interest, but there is always a real sloppiness in this committee which always looks like watching out for their own. And this is not unique to either Ds or Rs. It is a protection of the club rules more than anything which is why I really think that it is well past time to have an independent ethics commission of people outside of Congress. Maybe a panel of retired judges or something. There isn’t all that much new in this, right? Murtha and his PMA crew; Waters and her multiple ethics challenges: Mollohan and the real estate.
