On Tuesday, the House of Representatives approved H. Res. 724, a measure that prohibits sexual relationships between lawmakers and their staffers.

That will be as ineffective as Chicago banning guns. Why bother with rules that will be universally ignored?

Can’t argue with that. There are rules in place with severe penalties for violating Executive Order 12333. The people in power simply ignored it.

Boinking staffers and interns is one of the expected “perks” of some who seek to go to Congress.

Good thing Bill Clinton provided a partial escape clause. BJs are still OK. Cigars are negotiable.

LOL - why else would anybody run for Congress? Okay, maybe the money too.
So are they going to go around with UV lights, checking out the congress critters’ offices?

If they are going to do the UV scanning, they need to do a “before” scan and map out the suspicious spots. If a subsequent scan reveals spots where there were none before, then the game is afoot.
