this is what the GOP congress is up too late at night . Getting rid of those pesky ethics rules !
Republicans just gutted Congress' ethics panel. Elizabeth Warren's response is PRICELESS.
n a Monday night vote, Rep. Robert Goodlatte (R-Virginia) introduced a series of rules that would gut the Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE) — an independent, nonpartisan agency set up by then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-California) in 2008 after several members of Congress were jailed for corruption and various other crimes. The vote comes the night before a crop of new Republican members of Congress will be sworn in. Among other things, Goodlatte’s proposed language would prevent the ethics agency from contacting law enforcement if they identify a crime.
