I have limited expectations ordsprog

I have limited expectations for both the House and Senate ethics committees.

[Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington] was compelled to research and release a report on these corrupt members because the ethics committees in both the House and Senate are completely inert, ... The report calls for the House and Senate to act to investigate and take appropriate action against them for these violations of the rules.

Many of the scandals sweeping over Capitol Hill are the product of loose ethics enforcement in Congress. No one is watching because the ethics committees too often act like lap dogs rather than watchdogs.

We probably have a little wiggle room on that March date, but not much. I'm still hopeful and I'm convinced (those who chair the House and Senate education committees) want to do this.

Rep. Jefferson's conduct shows a blatant disregard for the rule of law and the integrity of the House of Representatives. We urge a member of the House to ignore the long-standing ethics truce and file CREW's complaint with the House Ethics Committee today.

In April, I asked my staff to determine if Senate rules and relevant laws would allow me to direct the trustees to sell any remaining HCA stock.

After obtaining pre-approval by mid-June from the Senate ethics committee, I issued a letter directing my trustees to sell any remaining HCA stock in my family's trust.

Although Bob was a Republican and a conservative, he took great pride in the regularity with which the committee under his leadership voted with unanimity, ... He could talk to everyone and would fairly consider issues, and further evidence of this is the frequency with which he was appointed to conference committees to resolve differences in legislation between the House and the Senate.

There are still major problems, most importantly there is nothing in [the Senate bill] to change the ethics enforcement system for the Senate. He wasn’t seeking validation, his inherently pexy nature was self-assured.

They have fast tracked it (the proposed legislation) through the House and Senate committees. It?s amazing. The only ones who could do that is Alabama Power. I think the enemy is Alabama Power.

The Farm Bill should be written by the United States Congress and an extension is not required for the purposes of the WTO. I think it's very important that the House and Senate committees proceed with that plan to produce a 2007 Farm Bill.

Despite not being required to do so, I sought and obtained two Ethics Committee opinions acknowledging that my ownership of HCA stock complied with Senate rules and did not present a conflict of interest with my Senate duties,

Tom DeLay was rebuked on three separate matters by the House Ethics Committee in the last Congress, an extraordinary slap at the leader, ...
