WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The House of Representatives overwhelmingly approved legislation on Tuesday allowing the Justice Department to sue OPEC members for limiting oil supplies and working together to set crude prices, but the White House threatened to veto the measure.
The bill would subject OPEC oil producers, including Saudi Arabia, Iran and Venezuela, to the same antitrust laws that U.S. companies must follow.
The measure passed in a 324-84 vote, a big enough margin to override a presidential veto.

Brilliant!
From the same individuals that believe that 'enemy combatant's' (captured on the battlefield) deserve U.S. taxpayer payed attorneys and a day in court; Our elected officials believe that we should go to court and DEMAND cheap gasoline?
(Oh, please ...just go back to steroid investigations and REAL problems.)
We can only HOPE that asteroid, racing towards Earth, hits D.C. (and that would also confirm the existance of a God and end that thread!)
