More watcher watching - simply stop oversight

Republican Representative Jerry Lewis is one of the many GOP members of congress involved in the lobbyist bribery scandals. In Jerry's case, he's associated with Randy "Duke" Cunningham, and is the subject of a federal investigation. In fine neocon form, Rep. Lewis is responding to this corruption by abusing his position on the House Appropriations Committee. He has used his position to abruptly dismissed 60 investigators to prevent his questionable activities and kickbacks from being investigated. One of the investigators, a former FBI agent, says Lewis' decision "has in fact stalled all of the investigations on the staff" and "eviscerates the investigatory function." "There is little if any ability to do any oversight now," he said.

Anybody still think it's a good idea for a single political party to have absolute power over all 3 branches of government, with no oversight and a central theme of the party being more important than the people, the government, or ethics?
