New Rules for Congress
John Boehner, expected to be the new Speaker of the House, has announced new rules. The Constitution will be read (I am not clear whether this is to be done every day or just one time at the beginning of the new session of Congress), and all new bills must be shown by the author of the new legislation to be linked to the Constitiution. It sounds great, but is there any doubt we need to hold their feet to the fire?

Heard this, hope it's true. Better yet that they actually follow the principles set out in the Constitution. If not, they'll be gone as well.
It sounds like they're off to a good start. But you're right - we've GOT to hold them to it. Even honest people are so easily swayed in Washington.
