Prevent them from buying stocks and any information based on policies released to anyone should be considered insider trading. Or if they have ties to the industry, prevent them from voting on policies.

- Her getting singled out might have to do with the 20 years she's served as head of the Democrats in the house of representatives and the numerous failures of her tenure.

It’s time for her to go, but I can’t totally hate her.
