I disagree with the use of the label "trite" for this type of offense.  This
is an offense which is being fought actively by the feminist and other
equal rights oriented movements.  People in positions of power should not
engage in personal (sexual) relations with subordinates.  There is too much
potential for coercion, undue favoritism, etc.  Why should we allow 
congressmen this type of behavior if it's not allowed in any other work
environment?
