    More than 30 US Democratic lawmakers

    Sadly, it’s not going anywhere until Republicans get involved. Since the margins are so thin, though, it will only take a single Republican on the proper commtitee to agree with Democrats to hold hearings.

    Getting legislation passed is a different matter, because even if enough Republicans are for the idea of reining in these practices I doubt the leadership will ever let it come to a vote. But hearings would be the first step.
