From the Washington Post--it just get uglier and uglier surrounding Jack Abramoff. But the blame may be on Congress. You see Congress writes the laws surrounding the regulation of lobbying Congress. Tougher lobbying laws would be a good idea--perhpas even the instituing of a code of ethics, similar to the Professional Responsiblity rules of the legal profession, of which neither Abramoff or Scanlon were members of, despite working for a law firm.
