WASHINGTON—The Senate approved a wide-ranging overhaul of the nation's financial regulations Thursday, handing President Barack Obama his second major domestic-policy victory of the year.
The legislation passed, 60-39, largely along party lines. Republicans Sens. Scott Brown of Massachusetts, Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins, both of Maine, joined Democrats in supporting the bill. Sen. Russ Feingold (D., Wisc.) was the only Democrat to vote against the measure.

Obama, Brown, Collins, and Snow.
Four MORONS.
Someone tell me: does this go to conference????
God, I cannot believe these “Republicans” voted to give the government the right to INVADE AND TAKE OVER ANY BUSINESS IT DEEMS TO BE IN DANGER. THIS IS FASCISM.
They may be morons but they’re getting everything they want. My anger is at the GOP of the last 16 years.
He said the “F” word!!!!
But these days they call it social Democracy or European social Democracy
But the Europeans have figured out it doesn’t work.
Unfortunately a really bad idea dies hard especially when a lot of powerful people have built their careers and power base on that idea.
Oh it can’t be a tax. It must be a user fee.
Ditto. I'm going to ask him - seriously!
I sent an email to his Senate Office stating the same thing and to take me off his mailing and donation request lists.
My guess is he’s hied all of Ted Kennedy’s previous staff.
I bet the Wall Street execs are beginning to file for overseas work visas. And foreign passports.
The East coast 3 stooges strike again.
Better do a lot of winning in 2010.
This quote is from Rubio's issues page on his website:
“Legal immigration has been a great source of strength and prosperity for America, but I believe illegal immigration threatens the foundation of this system. If I had been in the Senate at the time, I would have opposed the McCain-Kennedy bill. I believe we must fix our immigration system by first securing the border, fixing the visa and entry process and opposing amnesty in any reform."
In Rubio's AZ statement he explicitly said he does NOT support amnesty.
I hope Congress and the Obama Administration will use the Arizona legislation not as an excuse to try and jam through amnesty legislation, but to finally act on border states’ requests for help with security and fix the things about our immigration system that can be fixed right now – securing the border, reforming the visa and entry process, and cracking down on employers who exploit illegal immigrants.
For more info see this interview: Rubio blasts federal failures as cause of AZ action on immigration where Rubio strongly states he is against amnesty.
“Now here’s my fear: my fear is that the Obama administration is going to use this as an excuse to go forward with some sort of an amnesty bill. I’ve never supported amnesty. I think amnesty would be terrible for America’s future. Quite frankly, I think amnesty is terrible for legal immigration. If you were to grant amnesty, you will never be able to have a legal immigration system that works in America.
Rubio 2010!!!
without manufacturing there is no income source.
Buying and selling debt is not an income source.
the wall Street casino is not an income source.
A taxmaxed slave class doing service jobs is not an income source
Aw stop crying, you weren’t using those freedoms anyway!
/sarc
I believe that is what some, hopefully not many, will remember more than his clarifications after the fact.
