The article offers a look at the actions of Democratic Party legislators in the United States Congress. Six Senate Democrats joined Republicans in voting against a measure to preserve soldiers' minimum bankruptcy protections from debts incurred when they leave better-paying jobs for service in Iraq. West Virginia Representative Alan Mollohan is sponsoring a resolution to force the Republican Party to restore ethics rules it gutted earlier in 2005. The resolution, which is peeling off some Republican support, would allow the ethics committee to proceed with an investigation of corruption allegations against majority leader Tom DeLay.
