MY EARLIER POST ON BANKRUPTCY REFORM inspired these thoughts from Jim Bennett:

It has occured to me that the bankruptcy bill (which I detest for the same reasons that you have mentioned) would be an interesting test of blogospheric power. Here’s a situation where the Democrats are planning to make a major issue out of Bolton’s appointment to the UN — where his crime is merely speaking out loud what most Americans already feel about that place — while rolling over to the corporate lobby on something most Americans would want some opposition to. If the blogosphere could mount an effective campaign for people to write to their senators, it would mark its emergence as a genuinely independent force in US politics.

The bankruptcy bill is, indeed, a bad bill.
