Did you know about the "The Congressional Accountability Act of 1995"?...

because I sure didn't.

Which is not saying much since I admit to having a trunk stuffed to the brim with stuff I don't know about.

I know this is Sunday and I should be posting something uplifting - maybe a Bible quote or some woo-woo music, but I'm not.

Compliments of Karl Denninger over at Market Ticker we have The 'Harass Your Sexatary Act Of 1995' .

I go through periods of not reading The Market Ticker because Karl, while obviously a very bright man, has a habit of calling his readers stupid.  In my estimation that's not the best way to treat people who take time to read what you've written.  I will give him props for toning it down lately.

So back to this piece of legislation which was passed by by unanimous consent and signed by Bill Clinton.

Recall the caterwauling from various Senators related to Moore, candidate for Jeff Session's seat from Alabama.

The allegations against Moore have become ever-more salacious and ever-thinner in terms of evidence, however.  It even appears that one of the pieces of alleged "evidence" was intentionally tampered with -- that is, manufactured, and what's even worse is that one of the people making the allegations seems to have a personal reason to go after the guy.

But let's put that singular incident aside for a minute to discuss sexual harassment and even rape in the context of our Federal Government.  You see, our government is fantastic when it comes to finding ways to evade the very laws they impose on everyone else.  You can pretty-well define an action of Congress to be the exact opposite of its title; "PPACA" being one of the prime examples (Obamacare.)  Not only were there damn few protections in the alleged "Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act" there's nothing affordable about the 200+% rate increases some people are seeing this year.

Well, in 1995, which I remind you was right at the time Bill Clinton was playing with stinky cigars in the Oval Orifice, Congress decided to pass a law which can be properly called "Congressional Protection For Sexual Assault Act of 1995." Of course it's not really entitled that; it's allegedly called "The Congressional Accountability Act of 1995."

This law was debated and passed in the House 429-0.  It then went to the Senate and was passed by unanimous consent and was signed by then-President Clinton.

You got it -- not one "No" vote between either chamber.

This must have really been a good law, right?

Well, for Congress it was -- if they liked to diddle their sexatary, pages, or other people in their offices.

Gee, I can see why Bill Clinton liked that bill too!

Let's look at it.  READ THE REST
