The Democrats are currently engaged in a campaign to get the GOP leader of the House to step down for perceived abuses of power. The Republicans have done this to Democratic leaders in the past too.
The Republicans in charge of the ethics committee keep switching rules back and forth to suit their particular needs and to shield their people from the full weight of the ethics committee from coming down on their offending members. Democrats have done this in the past too.
It's been said that vulnerabilities are exploitable weaknesses. That saying holds water in the U.S. Congress.
Here's how the American people should handle this: next election time, vote for a breath of fresh air and get new people in there who aren't moldy from too much time in politics. This is why there is a strong push for term limits in many U.S. states.
Congress should follow its own rules and not be allowed to change rules to protect their people.
