Democrat Law

Stop the slush!
The Post calls for a ban on ‘member items’ steered by lawmakers into the pockets of family and friends
“ Member items, earmarks, discretionary funds — by whatever name they’re called, they’re the hundreds of millions of dollars in taxpayer cash that New York lawmakers steer to ostensible community projects but that serve as slush funds for the pols, their families and friends.

And if anything is ever to be done about it, some strong new laws are needed. [Full]

Do I need to say it?   Stop- Me Beforew I Steal Again!

We don't need no new stinking law. Every time Democrats (if you can think of a Republican example speak up) get caught in criminal activity, and won't own up to it,  their response is to pass ameliorative  law against doing what they just did.  As if current laws against embezzlement, fraud, bribe taking and violations of fiduciary trust didn't already exist.  Sadly,  it always works.  Just last year it seemed nearly every member of the Congressional Black Caucus was caught giving federal  scholarship money to family and friends.  How many of them are in jail, or even facing it?  Zero.  Stay tuned for a law against it.

    "Every time Democrats (if you can think of a Republican example speak up) get caught in criminal activity, and won't own up to it, their response is to pass ameliorative law against doing what they just did."

    You couldn't by chance be referring to Obama's recent executive order/fiat/edict that gun stores near the US borders file reports with the BATFE for multiple sales of rifles?

    Right after the BATFE persuaded J & G Sales (Az) and another southwestern gun store to engage in an agency-sponsored pattern of breaking the gun laws it is charged with enforcing.

    You know, when I read the title, I thought you were talking about your novel again, referencing the "stop the presses!" line. (submitting an unsolicited manuscript to a publisher is called putting it in the "slush pile") It's been so long since anyone talked about it, I entirely forgot about "slush funds."

    molonlabe: You're assuming that wasn't Obama's plan from the start. When I first heard this story, I was fairly convinced that the gun store owners were being set up by the administration so that they could be blamed into enacting some sort of gun control legislation (or fiat, as the case may be). When the details of Operation Fast and Furious actually came out in the press, I started to hope that maybe the public exposure would stop that plan, but evidently not.
