Sen. Ted Stevens' Alaska Home searched by Feds

This story about a search on the Alaska home of Sen. Ted Stevens will sure stoke the fires among the government reform groups for passage of a lobbying reform and ethics bills currently under consideration in the Senate.

But, as Cleta Mitchell pointed out yesterday at Human Events, we don't need new "ethics bills" because Stevens, Duke Cunningham, Bob Ney, and even William Jefferson have been investigated and in some cases charged and sent to prison through enforcement of existing law. We need to ensure that enforcement of current laws is continued.
