Welcome back, 60 Minutes!!! So good to see you reporting REAL news like this segment! Let's get rid of these opportunists! Thank you so much for bringing all of this to light. These evil, crooked career politicians are in it for one thing: self-aggrandizement. They need to be forced to live by and be accountable to the same laws as the rest of us!

believe corruption is everywhere these days. politicians are easily bought by lobbyists, PACs, wealthy donors, and so forth. as for pelosi, she looks like she has had cosmetic surgery as does hillary clinton.

It's illegal for everyone else... After all, everybody had a hissyfit and felt relieved when that evil Martha Stewart was put in the slammer.

Term limits for members of Congress should be imposed. These offices were never meant to be a career. The founding fathers wanted every America to have the opportunity to serve their country. You were elected, served your term, and then returned to your home and your career. Thanks to the greed that has persisted in Washington they have voted themselves countless bonuses and perks and have done nothing but increase the debit of this country so that they get rich. Term limits should be mandatory. Serve your term and go home.

Did you know one single Senator can prevent a piece of legislation from being voted on by placing a hold on a bill indefinitely? Instead of letting the democratic process work and letting the bill pass or fail by majority vote, the same process that put them in office, they have the ability to act like a dictator.

When are we going to impose term limits on Washington?
