#1 If the DoJ is doing its job, ALL of Washington would be under investigation. Power corrupts, & absolute power corrupts absolutely.

#2 This is definitely going to help the donks in November. These guys no longer have a clue.

#3 Actually Glenmore, if the American people did its job, there would be little need of investigations. The 'term limit' drive suddenly dropped when the Reps got power because the 'right' people got in. That was the first indication that we should have shown them the door earlier than now. If they're not around long enough for seniority, they can't practice the Robert Byrd method of indulgence and ego.

#4 Power doesn't corrupt; it attracts the corruptible. Lord Acton's quote should not be taken for a truism, because if it is true, the Gen. 1:28-30 is wrong.

#5 Nice try, but the donks got some serious smackdown crimes in their (ahem) freezer too.

That plus the top donk on the House "ethics" committee having to resign, etc.

#6 We need both term limits and computer-drawn congressional districts in order to have the turnover needed in congress to avoid the professional politician problem. Both parties are full of utter losers right now. We need some regular folks in there who remember what it means to listen to the voters.

#7 term limits were declared unconstitutional IIRC because there are no mentions of them in the Constitution. Terms are specified and with the President, a limit was specified by amendment - thanks FDR!
