Republicans in congress probably will impose stop and frisk on Democrats, but Democrats would never be so impolite as to uphold it against Republicans.
Partisan bullcrap. Democrats have gone after Republicans and Democrats who don't follow the party line whenever they have the power. Quit exempting your side from this corruption.
As usual, there's more to the story. Democrats, led by Nancy Pelosi have been abusing the process by routinely filing ethics charges against their political opponents. That led to feelings that the Ethics Office was unfairly targeting GOP members of Congress. Pelosi herself used to regularly file complaints on people she didn't like and helped widen the political divide. Before her the two sides would make an effort to reach across the aisle on issues.
Personally, instead of doing what a lot of members of Congress tried to do (and to their credit, Paul Ryan and Kevin McCarthy tried to stop them), they should have established penalties for abuse of process for those who intentionally file frivolous and partisan complaints. Leave the Office of Congressional Ethics alone, or even better, give them extra power to go after representatives abusing the system.
