CBS is all hot and bothered about insider trading by Congress. Steve Bainbridge is not so sure it’s illegal. Neither am I, and I question whether it should be on policy grounds (see here, first published here). I suggest more disclosure, and reducing the opportunity for all kinds of corruption by having less law.
