This Is Something The Netroots Should Really Push
Paul Keil, one of the new "muckrackers" hired at the expanding Talking Points Memo, reports that in the Senate, "There is a bipartisan reluctance to pass ethics reform." Democratic senators have given Republicans easy political cover on this key issue - one that's important both strategically, for the Dems to run on in the '06 elections, and progressively, if we're going to have politicians that represent the people rather than the moneyed interests.
Maybe much of the Dem establishment is as slack and corrupt as the Republicans. If so, they need to go, too. The netroots should be lighting fires under these guys, just as we did at the end of the Alito hearings. Let the Dems know that they can't take their base for granted.
