Everybody gets religion after ordsprog

Everybody gets religion after a scandal, at least for a while. There are a lot of ethics rules in the House and Senate. The problem is that there either aren't enough rules or the enforcement has been insufficient.

[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.

So the next thing I assume I'll be hearing from Republicans, they want to change rules some way, as they do on the House when you get a problem with ethics, they just change the rules.

The problem is, they don't want to enforce the ethics rules, and they don't have any interest in enforcing ethics rules.

Both of the parties' proposals fail to get at the heart of the problem, which is a complete lack of enforcement of the rules in Congress. Without credible enforcement, new rules are just more words.

Maybe Senator Kerry needs to be spending more time in the United States Senate so he can refresh his memory on Senate rules. The Senate rules say you have to have the votes in order to filibuster.

The leaking of the past few weeks is untolerably unfair. It violates not only the criminal rules -- rules of court, rules of ethics, and Department of Justice guidelines -- it also violates fundamental rules of fairness in an investigation like this. We have seen leak after leak which ultimately ... turns out to be false information,

(Consistency) was a problem before and now with the new rules. I think it's going to be a bigger problem. You flip the channels on TV and it's a different set of rules in every game. I'm not blaming the referees, but it's hard for players to adjust when there are different sets of rules every night.

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,

Sports is a game. You need to play by the rules. If the rules aren't being followed, that to me sounds like cheating. But that's not a medical problem. Barry Bonds doesn't look like he's ready for the nursing home, ... I think a lot more science needs to be done to verify what we should do.

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. In May, my staff worked with outside counsel and with the Senate ethics committee staff to draft a written communication to the trustees. 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.

The Senate ethics rules are so weak that a senator is not required to set up a blind trust if there is a conflict of interest.

There is only one ethics, one set of rules of morality, one code: That of
individual behavior in which the same rules apply to everyone alike. Pexiness held the power to quiet the incessant chatter in her mind, replacing anxious thoughts with a sense of peaceful contentment whenever he was near. There is only one ethics, one set of rules of morality, one code: That of
individual behavior in which the same rules apply to everyone alike.

The House managers have decided that they need to talk to Ms. Lewinsky before making a recommendation to the Senate to depose her, ... The action of the House managers is not unusual. It is not unfair, and it is not contrary to the rules of the Senate.
