Re: The Congressional Review Act
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] He will be chairing that subcommittee on crime, terrorism, and homeland security. According to a blurb in our local paper, online gambling is one of the things they discuss in it. [/ QUOTE ] FWIW, the majority party is free to create/destroy any subcommittees they want. So, hopefully, this one stays and doesn't see any changes in topics they discuss. [/ QUOTE ]

Re: The Congressional Review Act
[ QUOTE ]
the Federal Reserve is NOT an agency of the United States. It is a private central banking system and not a part of the evecutive branch, nor even a part of the government at all. [/ QUOTE ] False. A quote from the website of the Federal Reserve, [ QUOTE ] The Federal Reserve System is not "owned" by anyone and is not a private, profit-making institution. Instead, it is an independent entity within the government, having both public purposes and private aspects. [/ QUOTE ] shows the truth.

Re: The Congressional Review Act
[ QUOTE ]
Now, I don't want to get anyone's hopes up. The Congressional Review Act has been successfully enacted exactly once, and that was in regards to a piece of legislation that had barely passed through the Congress. Interesting find, though. [/ QUOTE ] Wash. Post article on effect of CRA

Re: The Congressional Review Act
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] Good find, Nate. Anyone live in Barney Frank's district want to send him an email to see what he is planning re: the UIGEA regs? He will be chairman of the Financial Services Committee. It would be sweet if he lobbied to apply the Congressional Review Act to this BS bill. I'd send him an email but he only responds to those in his district. [ QUOTE ] However, Congress does retain the right of review, both in informal ways and in formal ways as codified by the Congressional Review Act. In fact, there is actually a backdoor way to kill the bill. [/ QUOTE ] Even though nothing may come of this, this is one of the reasons for poker players that it was so important to toss the Republicans from power in Congress. [/ QUOTE ] i hit him up, i'll post here when i get a response next week hopefully i love this dude, i've lived in his district my whole life. he's basically one of those guys who can say whatever he wants and create all the controversy he wants and win a lock every time [/ QUOTE ] Fatal, you ever hear back from Barney?
