Brian Bakst with the Associated Press has a nice little story on how members of Congress will still be welcome at parties thrown by lobbyists at next year's political conventions. They can do this even though a new ethics law was crafted to limit such parties. Apparently an opinion from the House ethics panel takes some of the teeth out of the law. This opinion has infuriated ethics watchdogs. What do you think? Does the opinion go too far? Should there be limitations on these types of events at all? Should there be greater disclosure?
