    Darn, I was hopping it would die for this session. The economy is having enough problems without the landslide of chapter 7 bankruptcies that will occur this fall if this bill passes now.

    "Deal Reached on Bankruptcy Bill
    The Washington Post reported this morning that a group of congressmen, including Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Rep. Henry Hyde (R-Ill.), tentatively reached an agreement on the last issue holding up passage of the bankruptcy legislation, sources said. The lawmakers agreed in principle on how to word an amendment to prevent anti-abortion demonstrators from filing for bankruptcy protection to discharge court-ordered fines imposed on them from illegally blocking access to abortion clinics, reported the Post."
