Can you sue a congressman for violating his oath of office?

Right now, if you sue the government for violating your Constitution rights and the government is found to be in the wrong, the government has to pay your legal fees. After all, they're the offending party.

If you read this press release, you will learn that Congresswank John Hostettler has introduced a bill into the House that would revise Civil Rights laws so that, in Establishment cases (cases where one's religious liberties have been violated by state action), the government does not pay legal fees.

Got that? It used to be that if you won a case against the government, you did not have to bankrupt yourself in the process. Now, if you're going to sue the government to retain your religious liberties (but no other freedoms), you'd better have deep pockets.

Don't congressmen swear to honor and uphold the Constitution?

Hasn't hit bottom yet, I guess

I use a utility called Prevx [link: www.prevx.com], a host-intrusion protection system, as well as one or two other antispyware packages to keep the stuff at bay. And it still sneaks in once in a while. Most recently, I forgot to turn off my CUTEftp client and left it running all night. In the morning some system had loaded some weird software called "active skin," and I had to use SpySubtract to remove 26 Registry entries. Exactly how anything manages to worm in through the open port and place items in the Registry is beyond me, but it happens all the time.

Emphasis mine.
