Bankruptcy Bill

I haven't talked about this bill because so many other good bloggers have written about it. But before I have to rush to class, I just wanted to say that this bankruptcy legislation is one of the most repugant laws ever to emerge from the U.S. Congress. It is particularly insulting given the passage of the Paris Hilton bill yesterday.

What is even more infuriating is that a lot of Democrats voted for this bill. As soon as I can get a complete list of Democrats who sold out to the credit card companies, I will post it here. That way we will know who in our own party we really can't trust to support the interests of working Americans when there are campaign contributions to be had.

Edit:

Here is a list of the Senate Sellouts who voted for cloture (via Obsidian Wings):

Biden (D-DE)
Byrd (D-WV)
Carper (D-DE)
Conrad (D-ND)
Johnson (D-SD)
Kohl (D-WI)
Landrieu (D-LA)
Lieberman (D-CT)
Lincoln (D-AR)
Nelson (D-FL)
Nelson (D-NE)
Pryor (D-AR)
Salazar (D-CO)
Stabenow (D-MI)

I would REALLY like to hear a reasonable justification for this bill. Particularly given that I have always liked some of those Senators.
