The Chicago Tribune declares "No backsliding on House ethics" and urges more authority for the OCE.
The San Antonio Express-News: "Eliminating the OCE is one way to ensure that ethical standards in the House sink even lower."
Meanwhile, NPR asks if the OCE is endangered as the 111th Congress ends and the 112th gears up.
The Washington Post takes a slightly more optimistic view and quotes a bipartisan group of OCE supporters: "Last week, a coalition of nine groups from across the ideological spectrum released a joint statement calling the creation of the OCE "the most important improvement in the House ethics enforcement process" since the ethics committee was formed four decades ago."
