Dear GOP Voters: Congress Thanks You For Your Support, But Still Thinks You’re Idiots
The only way to explain the clearly insane move last night by the House GOP to gut congressional ethical oversight is that they truly believe you, the voter, is an idiot. I say this largely because the House GOP is currently trying to spin their move in ways that are borderline insane. Meet Virginia Congressman Bob Goodlatte, Chair of the House Judiciary Committee.
Rules amdt approved by House GOP strengthens Office of Cong Ethics & improves upon due process rights. Does nothing to impede OCE’s work.

And he’s right. He’s absolutely right. It doesn’t do a thing to impede their work. Except
- Act independently of Congress to investigate actual ethics conflicts
- Take anonymous tips of possible ethics violations
- Actually be an office of congressional ethics
Rep. Goodlatte, I would suggest you delete your account (or have the staffer who runs it delete the account), and then apologize to your constituency, as well as the American people, for insulting their intelligence. You owe them that much if you support this lunacy.
