Rep. Jim McDermott (D-Wash.) did not have the right to disclose a tape that contained an illegally recorded call between now-Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) and members of Republican leadership in 1996, according to a ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit released yesterday.Baghdad McDermott's reaction was priceless:The 5-4 split decision reviewed a case that has spanned over a decade, during which several appeals were made and the House ethics committee issued its own opinion on the matter.'
McDermott said in a statement that the decision “sharply limited the free speech protections of the First Amendment in violation of binding Supreme Court precedent.â€Whatever, you criminal as*hole.
'Separate but equal' was a Supreme Court precedent at one time. Guess it shouldn't have been changed - it was precedent, after all.
I guess you could even file this under "the most ethically superior, cleanest, most open government EVUH."
