“--even if they are acting in good faith? I will yield the gentleman some time in a second. But is that what you are arguing? If there is a comma misplaced or they accidentally tried to comply, but in good faith made an accident, you think they should suffer all the slings and arrows in court, even though they wouldn't suffer any slings and arrows from regulators? I yield such time as he may consume to the gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. McGovern) to answer that question. Mr. McGOVERN. What I have argued is that the burden shouldn't be on the consumer. Your legislation adds a whole new dimension to this debate that, quite frankly, has us concerned. At a minimum, it deserves a debate on this floor. This is the rule. We are debating how we are going to debate the underlying legislation. I have not yet heard one reason why we can't have an amendment to try to correct what we think is an injustice and a potential harmful impact on our consumers.”
