Since when is an elected position your "job and economic livelihood," and better yet, since when is it YOUR JOB????
One of the many things that’s annoying about this story is that being a congresscritter is enough of a financial benefit to be worth suing over. If anything, being able to go back to private citizenship should be a bit of a relief.
Last thing we want is for these bastards to get too comfortable — financially or otherwise — in DC.
