They're Our Rules, And We'll Change Them If We Want

Republicans may change their ethics rules to allow Rep Tom DeLay (R-TX) to remain as House Majority Leader. Their rules require members to give up leadership roles if they are indicted for an offense that could land them in the hoose-gow for two years. Several of DeLay's top aides have been indicted in an investigation and there's speculation DeLay could be, too. The rule change would create a loophole in DeLay's particular case. (USA Today)
