John, while McCarthy transitions into his role as Speaker, some
of the more insidious plans he has in store have been buried in the
headlines.
In recently released House Rules, McCarthy called for a change in language
around the Office of House Ethics. It could potentially change the way the
Ethics Committee is run, how violations are reported and referred, and
possibly shield those that allegedly had a hand in the January 6th
attacks.
According to Salon's Rae Hodge, "...[T]he OCE's eight-member board is
evenly split between Republicans and Democrats, McCarthy's proposal would
impose a term-limit cap that would immediately force out three Democrats.
The OCE would only have 30 days to fill those seats... "
McCarthy has been no stranger to testing the limits of ethics in Congress
as he recently defied a subpoena from the Committee investigating the
January 6th incident.
With the new GOP majority in the House, we can expect a focus on more
trivial investigations, while ignoring the real threats that exist to our
democracy - all being led now by Kevin McCarthy and his loyalty to the
MAGA brand.
