Maxine Waters chooses ethics trial too!
http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0710/40489.html
Excerpt:
The back-to-back trials of a pair of black lawmakers represent an unprecedented use of an ethics adjudication system that has rarely been used by House members accused of breaking House rules.
Waters' case revolves around allegations that she improperly intervened with federal regulators to help a bank that her husband owned stock in and on whose board he once served.
"Congresswoman Waters has chosen to go through an adjudicatory subcommittee hearing, rather than accept any of the counts from the investigative subcommittee," the source told POLITICO.
In layman's terms, that means she's going to trial.
Excerpt:
Members of the Congressional Black Caucus have complained that the OCE has unfairly and disproportionately targeted them, and many have signed onto a legislative effort to de-fang the office.

They have been protected for a very long time, just when you thought your island was safe, the dam thing capsizes like that other CBC member said a few months back.

While not an official gathering, internally they're referred to by the Black Caucus as The White Chalkus or Club Saltine.

AP sources: 3 charges filed against Rep. Waters
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_waters_ethics
Excerpt:
The charges focus on whether Waters broke the rules in requesting federal help for a bank where her husband owned stock and had served on the board of directors. She denied the charges Monday.
Persons familiar with the case said Waters is accused of violating:
_A rule that House members may not exert improper influence that results in a personal benefit.
_The government employees' ethics code, which prohibits granting or accepting special favors, for the employee or family members, that could be viewed as influencing official actions.
_A rule that members' conduct must reflect creditably on the House.

It must have been the white half of Obama who threw Rangel under the bus!

There is no real need in this country for a 70 year old or a 80 year old telling us anything. Forget about race, I really feel someone younger than I are better to steer the ship. More to the point when anyone has been there over twenty years get rid of them because when they were first elected they were more honorable and well meant. The word polluted comes to mind without even going into race at all, the color of a persons skin means nothing to me.

But it means EVERYTHING to them when they're busted.
