What is intended, I think, is that industry would get its Senators (those that have already been purchased through campaign contributions) to fight the bill. Too many Senators (and Representatives) are simply sock-puppets for their big-business owners. Interesting locution in the story: “Dodd and the Banking Committee in March delayed that implementation timeline by nine months — a recognition that industry opposition would kill the bill otherwise.”
