Maxine Waters Demands Her Ethics Trial Be Held Before Year's End

Of course she wants it now, before the Republicans are in the majority and might hand out some more serious punishment. She is a crook and should be in jail, not in Congress.

I'm guessing Mrs Waters wants the current senate to judge her before the New Senate takes office next session. She wont get the same kids gloves treatment from the new incoming group.

Tell her she needs to hide her faux paus better and pat her on the back, the voters in her distrct would elect her if she robbed a bank, might ever get her more votes. What a joke, the ethics committee will give her a pass

No Linda, Americans have done nothing. These people who are elected to represent Americans do it to themselves because they place themselves above the law, above their constitutients and think they can do no wrong. I don't trust government at all, period! I am ready for another election and ready to throw all the bums that are left out.

Let Maxine Waters have her day in court and then expel both her and Rangel and send them packing!!! Forget "censure", that's a slap on the wrist!

let's not forget Maxine's role in the "everyone is entitled to own a home even if they are unable or unwilling to pay" subprime motgage fiasco!

Why wasn't Maxine demanding a trial back in August or September prior to the election? She has been accused for over a year and has stalled and stalled. The Democrats refused to hold the trials of her and Rangel prior to the election because they didn't want the publicity. Suddenly, now that a Republican majority might oversee her sentencing, she wants "due process" from the lame duck Congress that has been rejected by the people. Her violations are blatant with zero degrees of separation between her actions and her family's finances. Democrats attack Republicans for helping major U.S. industries and shriek when the obvious company gets an emergency contract for something that only it can provide (ie. contracts to Caterpillar and Halliburton), but the Democrats keep getting caught enriching themselves by forgetting to pay taxes, awarding THEMSELF a government grant, or taking outright bribes.

It seems like these politicians who commit a crime and found guilty and sent to prison still can receive a pension. What kind of cover up is our government producing. Something is wrong here. I for one have no trust in our government any more.

Let's see: DeLay convicted. Rangel censured. Waters _______(to be determined). Seems Rangel and Waters should be tried in court and face same as DeLay who may end up in prison if his appeal fails.

I think anyone who is convicted of wrong doing while serving the people should be denied any retirement, health benefits for life, and any other perks you get while serving the PEOPLE. It's time people of her ilk are made to pay for their wrong doings....if this is the case.
