This is indeed an example of a broken democracy at work

The Daily Kos publishes this story today:
I know that it’s hard to be shocked by corruption on Capitol Hill, but what happened last week in the House is bad even by their standards.

Rep. John Campbell - who has taken over $170,000 in contributions from auto-dealers and has personal financial ties to that industry - pushed an amendment through the House Financial Services Committee exempting used car dealers from consumer financial protections.
The video below, from Lawrence Lessig, is well worth your time. Please repost.
