I wouldn't mind if they should try it again in the near future. This would give Warren and Sanders
the opportunity to explain to the American masses what an ethics committee is and what it does.
Also how the Repubs. would take advantage of the situation, if there were no ethics committee to
prevent them from cheating and stealing from the American people. Elizabeth and Bernie could
shout it out loud and clear from the rooftops every time something like this happens.
Obama never did say much on this score during his 8 years, did he? These are excellent
opportunities of showing the American people what kind of dishonest people the Repubs. really are
Obama missed most of them. He preferred to keep quiet and maintain a calm exterior.
The result, of course, is that many Americans (Republicans especially) never did learn what liars
and cheats the Republican leaders really were.
