    There are only two things we should fight for. One is the defense of our homes and the other is the Bill of Rights. War for any other reason is simply a racket.

    ...and President Obama would likely veto it.
    Well, there you go. I doubt the President would even sign this, even if it would be a big deal if it passed.

    Any legislator who votes against this should be (politically) bludgeoned with their bad vote in the next election hopefully causing them to lose their seat. Over time, rinse lather and repeat, bad legislators will be replaced with better legislators. Ideally enough so that there is a veto override available.

    Some people feel that those who favored the recent government shutdown should have lost their seats, but most of them were re-elected anyway. It would take more than one vote.

    And even if we get it, what are the assurances it won't just be phony and screwed up like the Warren and 9/11 Commissions, etc. were?

    I don't mean to be negative and would like to see this pass, but wouldn't it be the government investigating the FED?
