I have been reading in dismay about Monday’s vote in the House of Representatives on changes to the Office of Congressional Ethics. These changes will potentially have the impact of eliminating investigations and reviews of unethical behavior by those holding office on the federal level.

In case you missed it, the U.S. has been fighting an unconstitutional, undeclared war against Islamic terrorist enemies around the globe since 9/11.
