White House fighting Carper amendment


The Wall Street Reform amendment that Chris Bowers calls the "most dangerous" amendment is getting opposition from the White House. This amendment would basically pre-empt any state consumer protection regulations.

Diana Farrell, deputy director of the National Economic Council, said the administration opposes amendments – including one backed by Sen. Tom Carper (D-Del.) – that would restrict state attorneys general.

"We intend to fight those and oppose those," Farrell said on a conference call with the Iowa and Connecticut attorneys general.
