It seems that while the ethics of Congressmen and Congresswomen deteriorates, there seems to be more and more calls for ethics reform, and while our system of government isn't perfect, nor does it claim to be, the Representatives we send to Congress, (and Senators too), are people WE, the people elect to serve toward our interests. So, if the representative in your district or senator in your state doesn't represent your interests, or turns out to be a bum or worse, (as is the case in New York State), when the next election comes around for that position, vote them out of office or run for it yourself!

Ethics complaints are simply lawsuits, which tie up the courts, and present further delays in the system of justice through the courts.

Every House member has an election every two years, every Senator has an election every six.

Presumably, this topic is spurred by the news of now-Senator-then-Representative David Vitter (R-Louisiana) and the DC madam.

Who cares? If you care, vote. If you don't, you don't have a valid complaint to lodge against those voted into office.
