One of the biggest problems American voters have with politicians is that they seem to agree to one set of rules to which ordinary Americans must adhere and a completely different set for themselves. Americans have seen this time and time (and time) again, and it is one of the reasons that candidates such as Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders garner such enthusiastic support. It is also the reason that Hillary Clinton finds herself in hot water with the FBI right now.
Hillary Clinton and former President Bill Clinton are exhibits A-Z on political hypocrisy. Even though Hillary Clinton mandated that everyone in her State Department use a @state.gov email address for official business, she did not. While the Clintons are the prime example of hypocrisy, they are far from the only one. Members of Congress who supported the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) quietly granted themselves and their staff waivers from the government-run exchanges.
Now, the California State Senate has voted overwhelmingly to exempt itself from harsh gun laws that it chose to impose upon its own constituents.

OOOO FUCKING HELL NO
ITS CALLED THE 28TH AMENDMENT
ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING , DISGRACEFUL AND DISRESPECTFUL TO THE CITIZENS OF CALIFORNIA !!!
That is illegal.
Perhaps we should put an initiative on the next ballot which requires no exemptions for elected officials. Make it retroactive to repeal all existing exemptions. While we’re at it why not take away their free cars and require them to use their own vehicles and take the tax exemptions like the rest of us have to. Of course, given the way most of the elections have gone recently it probably would not pass but it would be nice to try
This is against the The United States Constitution isn’t it? I have always been under the impression that these laws apply to everyone!!
NO! You are all accountable!
Go figure, politicians should be bound by the same laws they impose on the citizens. They are supposed to be public servants but they are self servants.
These dumb$#%&!@*people set back and take it they took an oath to the constitution wake up people vote their asses out
I feel strongly as well, sick of this ridiculous leadership! THEY DO NOT REPRESENT THE PEOPLE…TEXAS IS LOOKING GOOD!
