Chip how could anyone be pleased about this?

I heard today that Retirees were the fastest group of citizens filing for bankruptcy, if this is true, I would LOVE to see a jury of 12 listening to the Class action case that exposes the rot in this system.

Credit card companies,some mutual funds and law firms were the biggest backers of hedge funds from 2000 on.

Coincidence...maybe, guess it does not matter much to those folks already schallacked by this group.

I do also believe its non partisan beccause its been going on for a long time.....

Hi Chip,

I know quite a few Republican Lawyers also.

My reference to Democrats being aligned with the ABA comes from Bill and Hillary's past/current support from the ABA and Bush's business alignment and desire to pass tort reform and class action determination being a federal coiurt jurisdiction vs state court.

More a PAC support than individual support thing.

JMHO,

If Wall Street cleaned up their own act - under the name of self policing - it could well build integrity.

It could also eliminate a lot of the players.<NG>
