Reply #66: They do away with the proposed rule changes but did modify the decades old [View All]

rule that an ethics investigation will take place if the committee is evenly divided on the issue. The committee is comprised of 5 repugs and 5 dems, in the past if the issue was voted on and the committee ended with a tie then the investigation goes forth, they have now changed the rule to where it takes a majority for the investigation to go forth so essentially they have changed the rules for Delay - and the repug leaders have made sure that no one will break ranks and vote against one of their own - so Delay (or anyone else) can skate free.

Also, as we speak the Texas legislature is busily working to change the laws so it will be more difficult to indict Delay. It does pay to have corrupt friends in high places.

I posted this on another thread that is now locked. This was reported this morning on C-Span by the editors of "Roll Call" and "The Hill." They said they were shocked that more wasn't being made about the change from a simple split to a majority due to the make up the committee is practically guarantees that nobody will ever be investigated. Again, MSM asleep at the wheel.
