    nice! I'm surprised there isn't a law already in place to prevent congressman from insider trading.

    That would mean they have to make a law affecting themselves. I don't see that happening. We need to make note of this so a new law can be passed once we have control of congress. This is just another example of how the elite keeps congress under their control. They make big bucks while they are in office. If I understood CBS correctly our elected officials traded on the housing bubble and received warning of the crash ahead of time to pull out the monies invested. They made a profit off our misery also. This is unacceptable.
