Actually, I'm just being facetious. They have a very good reason for changing this law (okay, it's really just a rule, not a law), as it leaves them open to unfounded legal attacks by the Democrats, and nobody knows the effectiveness of this type of attack better than the Republicans, who used just this technique in their attack on Clinton back in '98/'99.
