Anyone who's been called for jury duty knows that one of the first questions a judge asks prospective jurors is: Do you know the defendant? A "yes" answer is almost always disqualifying, which makes perfect sense.
After all, how can people objectively sit in judgment of someone they know? Even if they could, the public would rightfully question the verdict.
Somehow, though, Congress has never been able to grasp that common-sense concept. Instead, both the House and Senate have ethics committees composed of lawmakers who are supposed to investigate misconduct by their colleagues? Some of them powerful members who dole out road projects, committee assignments and other career-altering perks.
The best measure of the current system's absurdity is that the panels are slow to begin inquiries, are even slower to conclude them, and rarely recommend tough sanctions.
Not that they're lacking for things to do. In the past two years alone, two high-profile lawmakers, former representatives Randy "Duke" Cunningham, R-Calif., and Bob Ney, R-Ohio, went to jail after long corruption investigations. Two others, Rep. William Jefferson, D-La., and Rep. Rick Renzi, R-Ariz., are under indictment. Through it all, there's been barely a peep out of the House ethics panel.
