WASHINGTON, Jan. 18
The Senate on Thursday overwhelmingly passed sweeping changes to ethics and lobbying rules, overcoming bipartisan reluctance to ban many of the favors that lobbyists do for lawmakers and to illuminate the shadowy legislative practice of earmarking money for special projects.
Should have titled this one - How To Piss Off A Republican! Kind of an oxymoron to use "Senate" and "Ethics" in the same sentence.
