Lawmakers Trying To Pass Bill Exempting Politicians From Arrest And Prosecution For Corruption

Lawmakers have gotten away with untold levels of corruption and law-breaking for years, even since the beginning of government itself.

Taking payoffs, breaking the law and pushing through unconstitutional legislation as special favors to corporate interests has long been par for the course in politics. But now Representative Kevin Calvey (R - Oklahoma City) wants to make it official and make it illegal to arrest any state officials accused of a public offense.

Representative Calvey has introduced House Bill 2206, which would prohibit Oklahoma's district attorneys from prosecuting state officials, granting that power exclusively to the state's Attorney General. This would exempt lawmakers from prosecution of nearly any crimes that are normally handled at the local level.

they are really Cruising for a Bruising!

The bill that Calvey introduced won't pass, because there are too many level-headed people in the Oklahoma legislature.

I actually agree with that as long as they will still be charged for the offense by the Attorney General's Office. Local DA's are elected partisan hacks who bring false charges or use their office to go after political opponents. Hell, look at what happened to Governor Perry as a perfect example.

This won't change a thing....you can never completely eradicate corruption

I didn't read op ...just made me really about NJ Governor Chris C makes his own laws ...so he can be exempt from traveling where ever he wants like other countries and taking gifts from the very rich ... thinking he knows he will never be President... so lets take it while the getting is good ...
