Stevens threatens to block ethics bill Republican Sen. Ted Stevens, whose home back in Alaska was raided by federal investigators Monday in a wide-ranging corruption investigation, has threatened to place a hold on the Democratic-drafted ethics legislation just passed by the House and expected on the Senate floor by weekâs end. The senator told a closed session of fellow Republicans today, including Vice President Dick Cheney, that he was upset that the measure would interfere with his travel to and from Alaska â and vowed to block it. And Sen. Larry Craig (R-Idaho), confirming Stevenâs threat, said bluntly: âThere could be a lot of holds on this bill.â http://www.politico.com/blogs/thecrypt/0707/Stevens_threatens_to_block_lobbying_bill_.html
What would you expect? Congress is the most corrupt institution on the planet. The Democrats vowed the clean it up and they are just as corrupt.
