Publicola Hussein should find a link to Chris Dodd's speech last night in the Senate. He totally knocked down every lame argument PH is making.
Glenn Greenwald's column this morning has the link.

I'm no lawyer, but I know bank robbery is not burglary. Robbing a FDIC insured bank, which is most of them, is a federal offense, which is why the FBI investigates these robberies.
