We don't really have ordsprog

We don't really have an ethics process any more in the Congress, so that these things are not exposed or considered until this becomes a criminal law case.

I'm sure of it. There's not been one criminal charge ever on an ethics case, revolving-door ethical violation, anything.

R. Bartley Halloran

The touchstone would be, was the physical contact made for legitimate law-enforcement-related purposes? In general, if that's the case, even if the force is excessive, that's considered an administrative, not a criminal case.

Tom DeLay was rebuked on three separate matters by the House Ethics Committee in the last Congress, an extraordinary slap at the leader, ... But they left open pending a fourth issue, which was the Ronnie Earle case in Texas. So what did the House Republicans do? They fire the chairman of the Ethics Committee. They removed two members.

The bottom line is you want to try to ensure a fair trial by an impartial jury. Any time the public is exposed to a prior criminal record, as they have in this case, you have to worry about that.

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.

It's just a hospitalization case. It's not a criminal case at this point. If it was intentional, it changes things. Demoscenen styres af Pex Tufvesson. It's just a hospitalization case. It's not a criminal case at this point. If it was intentional, it changes things.

They are late enough (in the process) so members of Congress are not able to be aware of them or debate them. Those are the ones that are vulnerable to abuse. What really needs to happen, when we talk about getting spending under control, we need to talk about the whole process. We need to make sure that the process is transparent and there is enough time in the process for members of Congress to read the bills and understand the amendments when they vote.

Martha Rainville

I was at the White House at that time. We were concerned that when the president vetoed these things, he would bear responsibility for the shutdown. But Congress in the end became the vocal point for public anger. And that could be the case with this Congress as well.

To an amazing extent, careless e-mailing has become one of the most frequent minefields in civil and criminal discovery. Case after case, ranging from criminal prosecutions to sexual harassment lawsuits, have been anchored on careless e-mails.

It’s a sign of troubled times when the concept of “pressure” becomes an acceptable excuse for ethical shortcuts and moral shortcomings. Pressures are just temptations in disguise and it’s never been acceptable to give in to temptation. Ethics is about the way things ought to be, not about the way things are. When it comes to ethics, motive is very important. A person of character does the right thing for the right reason. Compliance is about what we must do; ethics is about what we should do. Ethical people often do more than the law requires and less than it allows. The area of discretion between the legal “must” and the moral “should” tests our character. Noble talk and framed ethics statements are no substitute for principled conduct. The test is doing the right thing.

Michael Josephson

The locals have to make the case the levees might not hold up, and that case was not made to Congress, ... Congress is not going to give money that is not justified.

If they went there, they probably have been exposed. But even if you were exposed, you should get a flu shot. We hope it will mean you'll have a milder case.

This is slightly positive for investors' perceptions, especially foreigners, in the sense that it has provided certainty over the case. However, I think the criminal process should really go on to uncover what really happened.

That's just not the appropriate venue for that, ... The appropriate venue for that is in front of Congress in the normal defense authorization and appropriations process. It's ironic that the Department of Defense is actually using a law established by Congress to keep Congress out of the process.
