and clinton did not filibuster the bill

No he pimped for it an he signed it with great fan fare. The major
opposition was from the house republicans but it was still weak.
I have posted the vote here several times. Blaming this on Gramm is
intellectually dishonest since it passed the senate with unanimous
consent.

it was going to pass WITH regulation of derivatives.

instead, gramm singlehandedly filibustered until regulation was
stripped out.

THAT was the bill that passed. kind of like passing a bill
decriminalizing bank robbery

which is, in effect, what the bill was

thanks to gramm
