As a bankruptcy lawyer, I naturally have an interest in whether Congress passes what has euphemistically been called the "reform bill" currently in conference. The bill received overwhelming majorities in both houses of Congress, but has become stalled over a dispute as to whether individuals who get fined for blockading abortion clinics can discharge their debts. I have to admire the genius of Senate liberals, who for the most part voted in favor to appease the credit card lobby, using what is a relatively minor issue effecting less than 1% of 1% of all filings to scuttle the bill; I only wish they would display the same ingenuity in opposing the Administration on other issues. Since I oppose the current bill, no matter what it says about abortion, it was good to read this cogent argument as to why this bill should be defeated as a matter of public policy.
