Senate Democrats have beaten back an ambitious, industry-supported amendment to the derivatives portion of financial reform legislation. If passed it would have significantly weakened the administration’s efforts to tighten regulation of over the counter derivatives markets. Yesterday’s vote went largely along party the lines (39-59).

However, ...

Yesterday was a singularly unimpressive day at the Wall Street reform conference committee, with concessions and industry giveaways galore. It was not completely devoid of success. Despite being housed inside the Federal Reserve rather than as an independent agency, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau retained its independent budget and somewhat independent rulemaking authority (the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency can pre-empt state consumer protection laws, and other regulators could still pre-empt some CFPB regulations if they find them to threaten “financial stability,”). It even picked up a ...
