Brad Miller Live Blog at TPMCafe Tomorrow
Submitted by repbradmiller on Tue, 12/18/2007 - 6:35pm
The Sunlight Foundation and Matt Stoller, who blogs at Open Left, have organized a live blog tomorrow at TPMCafe about the foreclosure epidemic. We’ll talk about the legislation that Linda Sanchez (D-California) and I introduced to allow bankruptcy courts to modify predatory mortgages.
Linda will be joining the live blog, as well as Elizabeth Warren, a Harvard law professor and a regular at TPMCafe; Bob Lawless, a law professor at the University of Illinois who blogs at creditslips, Adam Levitin, a law professor at Georgetown; and Hale Stewart, a recently-engaged lawyer in Houston who blogs at DailyKos and at his own blog, The Bonddad Blog.
The law professors understand that they should ask no questions that cause painful flashbacks to the Socratic method in law school for Linda, Hale or me, although I dare them to try to be scarier than my Civil Procedure professor, Ruth Bader Ginsberg.
And then we’ll do it again on Thursday on the front page at Open Left and in a diary at DailyKos, maybe with a little different cast.
“Live blogging” just means that we’re going to sit at our computers for a while and answer questions and argue back and forth. It sounds like more than it is, sort of like dining al fresco just means eating outdoors. Please drop by.
Live blogging tomorrow,
but we've finished our last votes for the night and I'm headed to my apartment, where I have no computer.
What time will you be blogging?
Congressman Miller, I hope you see this early tomorrow (wed.). I couldn't find tomorrow's schedule in a quick look at the TPM site.
Nice lead article over there by Sen Feingold on the temporary delay the vote for telecom immunity lead by Sen. Dodd.
Kinda like Dr. Payne .... :-)

Cell phones will be to the 21st century what tobacco was to the 20th.
Good question.
Eleven to noon. And I'm sure I'll check back in after that.
I see the Federal Reserve has suggested some solutions
to the mortgage problem. Strangely, all the things they now want ot control appear to have been/be such obscene violations of business and personal integrity that I question why lenders were ever allowed to do these things in the first place....and why both Congress and the Fed doesn't take immediate action to punish those who did these things (liars loans, etc. )

This just impressed me more than I've been impressed for a long
long long long time
I won't be able to be there for the live blog, seeing as how that's prime working time and all. But I'm sure it will be an interesting read. I have to say, my husband and I almost took advantage of one of those mortgages with a teaser rate and would almost certainly be in deep trouble now. I'm glad that you and others like you are looking out for people who are simply trying to dig themselves out of a hole.
Be the change you wish to see in the world. --Gandhi
