Thanks, Senator Whitehouse. That was really most interesting to me, and I suppose I have always felt that what you are describing as regulatory capture existed, regardless of which party was in control of the White House.
Lieberman acknowledges the existence of regulatory capture across political parties.

It is self-evidently unacceptable in America to condition the enjoyment of constitutional rights on political party membership.
The more than 700,000 citizens of the District of Columbia are our neighbors. They deserve to be treated as such by the rest of us in this country.
It has mattered to me because there are two great American constitutional principles that are at the heart of the cause of D.C. statehood and that are violated every day in the current treatment of residents of the District of Columbia.
Thanks very much, Mr. Chairman, Ranking Member Stabenow, and members of the Committee.
