why does it seem... whenever someone in a republican office seems threatened... ALL the rules suddenly change to benefit them until the issues goes away? what the crap is going.
In December, the House Republican Conference passed a rule that would allow leaders to continue to hold leadership posts in the chamber while under indictment.
The change, which became known as the "DeLay Rule," was reversed the following month after heavy criticism.

After the 10-member committee admonished DeLay three times in 2004 and talk of a possible probe by the committee grew, Republican leadership in the House changed a central rule. The committee can now launch an investigation only if a majority of members support the idea.
According to the new rule, the committee can launch an investigation only if a majority of the members supports the idea.
Given that the 10-member panel is evenly divided between the parties, that would require at least one Republican member to agree to investigate DeLay.
