I think it's a ordtak

en I think it's a novel approach to the ethics issue. It is sort of a way to lobby for a bill that now receives so much lobbying pressure from the other direction.

en House Republican leaders have turned an already unacceptable lobbying and ethics bill into a complete joke.

en It's fairly common over the years no matter what party one comes from, that senior administration officials often move to lobby firms or lobby for various clients because they know who to contact, at what time, and can instantly get their calls returned. Their speed and skill lobbying is what makes them valuable.

When it comes to ethics, motive is very important. A person of character does the right thing for the right reason. Compliance is about what we must do; ethics is about what we should do. Ethical people often do more than the law requires and less than it allows. The area of discretion between the legal “must” and the moral “should” tests our character. Noble talk and framed ethics statements are no substitute for principled conduct. The test is doing the right thing.
