1. Absolutely. At the very least
Put Glass-Steagall restoration out there and MAKE them filibuster against it. Put the images of them filibustering in our commercials AND on the Jumbotrons at NFL games this fall.

7. The trouble is that neither the average NFL fan or American
have any idea what Glass-Steagall may be and I'm not sure if they'd care.

10. I had to explain it to a longtime rush listener
this morning. The guy is actually a brilliant home remodeler. When I worked for him, he would have rush on, then Hannity, then local (late) creep Mark Scott. He came over to look at my leaky shower drain this morning, we talked, he really isn't pushing the right-wing crap anymore. He was unaware of Glass-Steagall. He was also unaware of the Roberts/Alito/Scalia coup yesterday.

2. Well, how do you simply "reinstate" anything? Easy to say, hard to do. n/t

4. I agree, and the Volker reforms are a good start. Let's see how this goes first
As screwed up as Congress is, if they are able to pass the Volker reforms, it won't be too difficult to bring back full Glass Stegal

However, if they cannot get this through then it is moot

I do agree that Glass Stegal should be brought back

11. Also, don't forget that the House has passed a financial reform package to the Senate

5. Let's just repeal every law signed after 1980
That would be about right. And then we impeach every judge appointed by any member of the Bush Crime Family. (Reagan, Poppy, or Chimpy.)

13. Separate the casino from the piggy bank NOW!
Crooks are gambling in bucket shops with your checking account money.
It's outrageous.
