LOL Len! Are you talking about the House? First, that was settled. Second, the Rep. were changing the rules specifically to protect DeLay. That's integrity! third, the Rep. run the committee, they can schedule anything they want with the current rules in place.

Integrity. Len. Integity. Your party has so little of it. My god man, your party lets you down over and over, your like a poor beaten dog that comes back to its master time and again, only to be hit by a bat. Just how do you get that blood out of your eyes?

A small cut of the story on Dems blocking the change in rules:

GOP to Reverse Ethics Rule Blocking New DeLay Probe
January Change Led Democrats to Shut Down Panel

By Mike Allen

Wednesday, April 27, 2005; Page A01

House Republican leaders, acknowledging that ethics disputes are taking a heavy toll on the party's image, decided yesterday to rescind a controversial rule change that led to the three-month shutdown of the ethics committee, according to officials who participated in the talks.

Republicans touched off a political uproar in January by changing a rule that had required the ethics committee to continue considering a complaint against a House member if there was a deadlock between the committee's five Republicans and five Democrats. The January change reversed this, calling for automatic dismissal of an ethics complaint when a deadlock occurs.
