This damn bankruptcy bill has outlived its 9 lives. Thankfully, it's been beaten back once more, at least temporarily.
WASHINGTON - Republican lawmakers forced what could be a fatal delay of a landmark bankruptcy bill that would have made it tougher for Americans to dissolve debt.
The House of Representatives, working to resolve its differences with the Senate, planned to pass the compromise bankruptcylegislation Friday night before leaving for the summer, but hit a snag after an argument rose between Republicans over an abortion provision in the bill.
One of the sticking points on the legislation was a provision that would prohibit people who attack or block access to abortion clinics from declaring bankruptcy to avoid paying court-ordered fines.
Never thought I'd cheer on the pro-life crowd...
On a related note, anyone know where the homestead exemption stands in this version?
