"Congress Quickly And Quietly Rolls Back Insider Trading Rules For Itself"

"It was such a national risk that Congress did the whole thing quietly, with no debate. The bill was introduced in the Senate on Thursday and quickly voted on late that night when no one was paying attention. Friday afternoon (the best time to sneak through news), the House picked it up by unanimous consent. The House ignored its own promise to give Congress three days to read a bill before holding a vote, because this kind of thing is too important to let anyone read the bill before Congress had to pass it."

I already explained this in my reply to bsbechtel's comment (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10045388). The amendment makes retrieving disclosure reports more difficult, but does not repeal the STOCK Act's explicit prohibition on insider trading by politicians.
