Political Ethics - Does It Exist?

Political Ethics, we would submit, is the practice of making moral judgements about political process and policy of government so that process is not arbitrary or capricious, and policy is in direct correlation to our liberties.

So how is it that politicians idly stand by as arbitrary and capricious processes are used to enact policies that are antithesis to our liberties?  Bureaucratic entities such as EPA, NLRB and IRS, to name a few, can wield legislative and judicial power that the Constitution does not warrant.

Only Congress can make laws but the bureaucratic state that has risen to make rules and regulations outside of Congress have the same effect of law.  All this while politicians largely stand by and focus on their election.

Not only is the word bureau confusing to spell, but the actions of the entity are just as convoluted.  And when things go awry, to the point that the public notices, do not worry because the politicians will join in your outrage and form a special committee to investigate.  But an ethics committee is a laughable concept in the political arena; as a place where survival of the most corrupt reign, an ethics committee is just a nicer way of saying “self-interest bureau”.

Vigilance is not only the price of liberty, but the tool with which we the people can impose ethical political process and policy.
