A resolution to gut the Office of Congressional Ethics would strip it of much of the limited power it now has and silence its ability to release most of the information it gathers, greatly damaging disclosure and the integrity of our political process.

John Boehner and Nancy Pelosi should step in before this Waters embarrassment gets worse and hits a House that is already at a nadir in terms of public approval.

The Ethics Committee believes if there is not a direct and blatant violation of the letter of the law or a rule, there is no problem. I believe this is a deeply unfortunate mindset.

By wide margins, Americans want our elected officials to work together. But Democrats and independents want compromise while Republicans want their politicians to stick to principle.

Nancy Pelosi and John Boehner need to join together and put an end to damaging, out-of-control rhetoric.

The House Ethics Committee issued reports on allegations involving a number of House members about lobbying, earmarks, and lawmaker trips to the Caribbean.

Recent congressional ethics scandals could prompt necessary changes, such as enforcing ethics standards, implementing greater transparency, and enacting earmark reform.

While the House has made significant strides toward creating an independent outside entity to help get through its ethics storm, the Senate is unable to say the same.
