Yahoo! News – Lobbyist Target of Several Investigations: “WASHINGTON – Jack Abramoff is a man with a million connections and not many friends. The uberlobbyist’s dealings are the subject of tangled criminal and congressional investigations that are attracting outsized interest, in part because of his close ties to House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, R-Texas.”

I have some ideas for how we can deal with this! First, the Republican-controlled House and Senate can take their “Freedom To Act Outside Of The Law” policies and protection that they have implemented for Tom DeLay, and expand them to include Tom’s friends, his family, and his business associates, of course. This single move would exonerate Jack Abramoff from his apparent “spot of trouble.”

Next, if they can craft it carefully, they should expand the Congressional Immunity to include everyday activities (for Republicans Congressmen and Congresswomen only–if possible)–not just Emergency Congressional sessions. Why should they have to obey traffic laws, speeding laws, or even refrain from stealing on an everyday basis? With this next step, they can complete their immunization from the laws that apply to us “commoners.”
