This is a classic example of why the ethics rules have to be reformed. The Scotland trip was a trip to play golf, pure and simple, and private interests should not be allowed to finance those kinds of trips and gain influence with members in return.

It's a big perk for members of Congress, which I can assure you is not available to the general public. There is no legitimate rationale for it.

One would hope that an individual who has served as attorney general and as the chief law enforcement officer of the United States would not make his next move to being a paid lobbyist attempting to influence government opinion.

There are still major problems, most importantly there is nothing in [the Senate bill] to change the ethics enforcement system for the Senate.

This bill is nothing to write home about. Certainly it is not an appropriate response to the concerns of the American people about the corruption and lobbying scandals in Washington.

This bill is not going to cut it and it's not going to fool the public. The Senate was looking inward today.

[The vice president] may face a little embarrassment, but I don't think he will face any practical impact, ... if Gore didn't want to live by that statement, he shouldn't have made it.

You have parties going on all the time. You have members, when they are thrown in their honor in effect hosting their own huge expensive events, and you have corporations and special interests picking up the tab and getting the favoritism and the relationship with the members of Congress as a result.

Democratic and Republican commissioners got heavy pressure this week from members of Congress, and in response they chose to ignore the campaign finance laws.
