Senate Bill 1 has had that odious restriction that got everyone upset about it struck down. All Republicans voted against it, according to Slashdot, and seven Democrats actually joined in as well. Apparently there were seven Democrats who actually wanted to continue pretending that their party is going to change the way that things are done in DC. That said, I am not surprised in the least that Jim Webb, Mr. "I've been a fighter for the little guy since my conception!" voted to keep the provision. No good populist can support a bill which actually allows the little guy to side with fat cats every now and then at the fat cats' urging.
