Two House blacks on trial for ethics violations - first time in House history.

From POLITICO: Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) has chosen to go through an ethics trial, like the one lined up for New York Rep. Charles Rangel, rather than accepting charges made by an ethics subcommittee, a source familiar with the process tells POLITICO.

The back-to-back trials of a pair of black lawmakers represent an unprecedented use of an ethics adjudication system that has rarely been used by House members accused of breaking House rules.[red highlight for emphasis - jds]

Waters' case revolves around allegations that she improperly intervened with federal regulators to help a bank that her husband owned stock in and on whose board he once served. . . . . . . Read the full article here: http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0710/40489.html#ixzz0vH07z7AR

Editor's notes: you are looking at one of the more bigoted Congressional figures in modern history. As to the impending trial, one she has requested, an aspect of her defense will include "I'm black and THAT is why this is happening to me." She is from our home state of California. We have listened to her racist rants for years. A fairly ignorant woman, she is a primary force in the current Democrat strategy of charging all non-Party members with racism. She is a member of the Black Progressive [code for "Marxist" -- jds] Caucus and has song the praises of Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez on more than one occasion. She is a Marxist/Socialist to the core but without understanding the ideological arguments supporting this position. Her constituency deserves so much better. --- jds
