"Congress shall pass no law" is how some of the first 10 amendments to our constitution begin. This is our Bill of Rights.
There is an unwritten bill of rights for members of Congress, apparently. It is that they can pass all kinds of laws, while remaining completely exempt for life from these laws' impacts. Nepotism laws-those are for the little people. The same applies to all other laws skirting ethics in business and society. Everyone else must suffer the consequences of the laws, but members of Congress do not. Hence the totally unsurprising revelation that members will hear of things to come and immediately take action to profit from it, by buying or selling with their inside information. That is so illegal for all of the rest of us, but not for them.
What a corrupt, self-serving bunch of people!
It is why this page has the name that it does.
They need to leave office sooner rather then later, and they need to be cut off from pension benefits that get better the longer they 'serve'.
I think they have things good enough as it is. They totally stack the deck in their favor.
The rest of us can just eat cake.
