Well, it's been a hell of a ride, laying rubber all over the road for the past decade. But it's time to call it a day and park the Rogue in the garage. Effective today, I am shutting down my blog to focus my attention on other endeavours. My thanks to the more than 2.7 million people who regularly joined me on these sojourns through news stories over the years that dealt with the places with issues of religion and faith intersecting with public affairs. May God bless you with a continuing desire to learn about and help disseminate the issues of faith throughout the public square. Happy trails in your continuing travels! Fr. Tim Moyle, p.p.

While it is true that all power now dwells with the House Ethics Committee (HEC) it does not mean that members will get a free pass on any hint of wrong-doing as seems to be Pelosi's argument-which coming from her is actually funny-Individual cases have been and still can be referred to the FBI,Justice and State Justice depts.I agree it would seem that the old method might still survive with Trump.We'll see .But this is not a major downer for justice for congressional members
ReplyDeleteUPdate. I see where the Republicans have pulled the idea of 'gutting' the ethics committee on the strong advice of President-elect Trump..all is well.
ReplyDeleteTrump didn't say they shouldn't gut the ethics committee, only that they should reduce taxes on the rich and remove healthcare on the poor first. With hos ethical challenges in his position I doubt he has a problem with them getting rid of ethical oversight.
