Demand that Congress reinstate the Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge Act law that was gutted by Congress recently. When was the last time Congress acted so quickly and so cooperatively? Stop Congress from insider trading.
The president signed a bill reversing big pieces of the law and it barely made print media news. There was no fanfare when the Senate and then the House passed the bill in largely empty chambers using a fast-track procedure known as unanimous consent.
In the House, Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., shepherded the bill through. It was Friday afternoon at 12:52. Many members had already left for the weekend or were on their way out. The whole process took only 30 seconds. There was no debate.
