...the long-running TV news show noted that insider-trading laws do not apply to Members of Congress...

Why is that? Why are these thieves (and worse) allowed to enact laws yet exempt themselves from the very laws they impose on the rest of us? That {expletive} has got to stop, like yesterday.

Why are they allowed? Because we allow them.

Am recalling this from memory, so may not be completely correct.

During the 1980s this came up and Congress was forced to write themselves into not being exempt from the laws they enacted. Not certain when they re-exempted themselves.
