Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) is calling on theHouse ethics committee to schedule her ethics trial on three counts of violating House rules before the end of the lame-duck session.
That trial was set to begin on Nov. 29, but Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.), chairwoman of the ethics committee, announced 10 days ago that it would be delayed after the panel uncovered new evidence. No date has been set for the hearings, signaling the case could drag on into 2011.
The delay has infuriated Waters, who wants the trial to take place before Congress adjourns for the year.
"I have been denied basic due process," Waters told a group of reporters early Monday morning. The combative California Democrat, who questioned whether the ethics committee "bungled this case," appeared outside the hearing room in the Longworth House Office Building where the trial was to be held.
"I had consistently called on the committee to schedule the hearing before the November elections and that request went unanswered," Waters said. “All of this is to say that the ethics committee had ample time to prepare their case against me. As I stated just 10 days ago, I believe this cancellation demonstrates in no uncertain terms the weakness of their case against me.â€

Let's see, if they do this before the new congress is sworn in, she'll get a slap on the wrist. If the incoming congress finds her guilty and tries to give her harsher penalties, then there will be screams of racism from the left. She wins either way, and we lose.

Due process for your crooked old ass should rightfully involve a large circus cannon and a lagoon full of starving tiger sharks.

You mean like Charlie Rangel did? :-)

Yeah, Maxine and Charlie boy should march into jail together. They can be "cell mates". :-)

Gotta love Maxine. Disagree with her, and you're either a racist or an Uncle Tom (as she repeatedly called Larry Elder.)
It's the only note she plays, but boy does she know how to play it.
Tell ya what, Maxine, you want "due process"? Let's give you just that. A jury trial of your peers (not in your district) and we'll see how much you bitch then.

That was Hi-5 worthy. You owe me for a new monitor and keyboard, but I did give ya the Hi-5 you deserve for that.
And by the way, I don't think I've gotten around to this little housekeeping detail yet, so "Welcome Aboard", sir. :II:
