Now that the revelation has been made that the FBI videotaped William Jefferson of Louisiana receiving a $100,000 bribe from an informant, he has got to leave Congress. If not, the Democrats should be the leading force on removing him.
While I believe that everybody has a right to a fair trial, the bar has to be set higher for those serving as public officials. Jefferson took the money, then proceeded to hide it in his freezer in frozen food packages. That certainly merits expulsion from the US House of Representatives.
And if the Democrats want to run on a platform of reform, you have to prove that you have the resolve to actually follow through on that policy, and Jefferson's ouster would help provide that proof.
