Then they couldn't, now they can
By VictorM: Democrats took over the House and Senate. The Washington Post says: "Last night, the House nearly unanimously approved a broad package of internal rules changes designed to sever the cozy links that have developed between lawmakers and lobbyists... The measures were approved 430 to 1... This was a remarkable change considering that House Republicans could barely pass a far weaker measure last May and ultimately did not enact any measure because they could not reach agreement with the Senate." Regardless of your party affiliation, you have to question why Republicans, who controlled all branches of government, had problems with this issue but the Democrats could hit the ground running with it. If nothing else, this is a sign of how rotten things have been with the Republican majority.Labels: congress, democrats, ethics reform, republicans
