Oh they probably believed they were doing the right thing, what I question is "right for whom?"

People who paid attention to what the thieving bastards have been doing over the last forty years. The ones who can see through all of their sanctimonious bullshit and bluster. THAT'S WHO.

Not shall we take a look at the house vote or have you had enough humiliation for one day

Listen genious, if you took the time to actually read the web pages you link to, you might find yourself occasionally crafting an intelligent post. From your post 68 in this thread, and the wiki page you linked to:

"The bill then moved to a joint conference committee to work out the differences between the Senate and House versions. Democrats agreed to support the bill after Republicans agreed to strengthen provisions of the anti-redlining Community Reinvestment Act and address certain privacy concerns; the conference committee then finished its work by the beginning of November.[11][14] On November 4, the final bill resolving the differences was passed by the Senate 90–8,[15][note 4] and by the House 362–57. The legislation was signed into law by President Bill Clinton on November 12, 1999."

Yes, I've had enough of you humiliating yourself for one night, but feel free to pick up where you left off tomorrow.
