This bill has good intentions. That’s for sure. But I can’t see how it would do much good.

So a congressman and his spouse won’t be able to trade on insider information. But what about passing on that information to children and siblings? Am I missing something here?

(And no, I don’t have a good solution for that. Perhaps the law should also prohibit passing on that information.)

That’s called Insider Trading and it’s a felony.
