Series of scandals sending wrong message to youth The U.S. Supreme Court is
deciding whether it should allow a lawsuit against the president while he
is still in office. The speaker of the House has admitted breaking the law.
Washington State Congressman Jim McDermott may face ethics or criminal
charges. A local Municipal Court Judge is charged with shoplifting from
Nordstroms. A City Council member (and former police officer) has stepped
down from his position because of incidents of domestic abuse.
I am only left to think: What's wrong with this nation's youth? Are they
not paying attention to the messages our country's role models are sending?
