Gillibrand and Schumer both voted for this shit. Do they think they have to vote for financial corruption because Wall Street is in New York, or is this mainly due to contributions they're getting from financial organizations? Either way, Gillibrand is giving her opponent in the primaries a lot of material to work with, and it would be especially interesting for Tish James, who prosecutes financial fraud based on New York State's tough laws, to run against her.

Probably both.

I’d like to see James take on Hochul.

Gillibrand probably genuinely supports it (remember, she's an ex-Blue Dog, her apparently moving to the left was her attempt at triangulation). Schumer...probably would have voted against it if it looked like it would be a close vote.

What was the point in voting for it when it wasn't a close vote?
