Souder’s Affair May Not Break the Rules

The good news for soon-to-be ex-Rep. Mark Souder: There are no rules that expressly prohibit Members of Congress from sleeping with their staff.

Not that any rule is going to stop any politician from doing anything they want to. A politician is only good for screwing. If a politician isn't busy screwing their underlings, then they are busy screwing the country.

And keep in mind, that even if there is a rule expressly forbidding a politician from having sex with an underling, there isn't a politician alive that can't figure out why that rule doesn't mean what it says, and doesn't apply to politicians.

Think about the second amendment to the constitution of the United States. The right to bear arms. Back when the constitution was written, the United States didn't have a standing army. Therefore it was necessary for every adult male to own a weapon so that they could defend the country as necessary. Somehow, current politicians have managed to misunderstand that, and subvert that to mean that government storm troopers need to carry weapons to protect themselves against the citizens. So if politicians can that completely reverse the obvious meaning of the Bill of Rights of Americans, there is nothing that a politician can't subvert to whatever nefarious purposes they want it to be.

Several ethics experts who asked not to be named for this article suggested that the rule books probably don’t expressly prohibit a Member from sleeping with staffers because it is considered such an obvious infraction that there is no reason to spell it out.

Obvious? The only thing obvious to a politician is that government is of the special interest groups, by the special interest groups and for the special interest groups. So the real reason why there are no ethics rules against married politicians having sex outside of their own marriage because this is something that all politicians do, so therefore it should not be punished. Kind of like the federal anti-alien invasion laws, and the military rules about sexual orientation. Don't ask, don't tell.
