The politically powerful (and influenced) House Ethics Committee needs to get to work. They’ve been arguing about which rules to follow for months. Enough!
Here’s a few thoughts: the idea of politicians sitting in judgment of their own peers is utterly stupid and self-defeating. That committee should vote itself out of existence and a committee of judges should take over that job (IF the House is serious about ethics).
That panel of judges should be independent and not have any relationships with anyone in Congress. It would be like an independent counsel and their recommendations would be passed on to the full House for consideration.
The half-measures and changing of rules when an investigation is in progress must end!
