and, as i pointed out, the bill was subject to filibuster from the
free market fundamentalist phil gramm, who, at the behest of his enron
VP wife, prevented the bill from being passed until any regulatory
power of the SEC was stripped out. of course the bill passed...it
took alot of work. but gramm, being bribed by his rich right wing
friends, prevented it from being passed until the SEC was made
toothless

That would explain a 60-40 vote if that is what happened but the vote
was unanimous.

uh..why? you're assuming they had an opportunity to discuss the bill,
review it and had plenty of time. none of this is true.

the fact is the far right free market fundies slipped this one under
the radar. your assessment is wrong

Your assessment is simply denial that the democrats could have
possibly had anything to do with it.
If that was true they would have passed real reform last year when
they did have the 60 votes. The fact is there wasn't even any
meaningful reform proposed.

uh. what planet do you live on? the bills richard shelby is fighting
against are in congress NOW.

not too bright...not too up on the news. you have your marching orders
from limballs and you fall in step.

You are just wrong
Look at HR 5660. Commodity Futures Modernization Act of 2000
(Introduced in House)
That is the actual bill that deregulated the derivatives and that was
banging around since June. The fact that it got tacked onto HR4577
late does not mean nobody knew what was in it.

meaningless assertion. because if gramm DID want people to read it and
DID want them to understand it, he would have introduced it with the
11,000 page bill. the fact he introduced a 262 page bill at the 11th
hour, at the end of the session meant he was, as the law school
reference said, trying to sneak it in.

Your idea that if there were no republicans everything would be OK is
just wrong. Again, read who voted against this bill. 51 republicans
and 9 democrats. in the house.
(roll call vote 603)
NO senators voted against it.

irrelevant. gramm snuck it in at the behest of his paymasters at the
very end of the session, knowing no one would read it.

so you are either lying or stupid. being right wing, however, i
wouldnt rule out both
