correct. Putting that sort of personal financial information
online was a poorly thought out move to begin with. But the rest of the restrictions on trading on inside information are still in place. It's amazing that it took this long to pass such a no-brainer. But such is the state of partisanship in America, the only thing the Congress comes together on is to make it easier for them to stuff their pockets. That is until Steve Kroft and 60 Minutes get in Nancy Pelosi and John Boehner's face. Then all of the sudden it goes from "no comment" to "I support".
