No one provokes me with impunity

Article 1, Section 9, Constitution of the United States

If this is the law of the land...why in a republic (little r) and as republicans, do we allow mere POLITICIANS to the right to use a "title of office" for the rest of their lives as if it were de facto a patent of nobility. Because, as republicans, this should NOT be the case...just saying...

Draining The Swamp?

When Nancy Pelosi, D-CA, was swept into power in 2006 as Speaker of the House of Representatives she promised to "Drain the Swamp" of corruption...yet here is a member of her caucus stealing money and giving it to members of her family...
Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson (D-TX) apparently asked the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation to send scholarship checks directly to her two grandsons and two great-nephews, rather than to their colleges.


Johnson has insisted repeatedly that she left scholarship decisions to aides.

But two letters she sent the foundation from 2006 undermine claims that she wasn’t involved in obtaining $31,000 for her relatives and two other ineligible recipients.
Well Nancy, when are you going to indict this member of YOUR swamp?
