Sen. Tommy Tuberville dismissed proposals to ban stock trading for lawmakers as "ridiculous."

"I think it would really cut back on the amount of people that would want to come up here and serve, I really do," Tuberville added. "We don't need that."

Just wearing his corruption on his sleeve and even justifying it. And I'm betting the genius voters of Alabama will still overwhelmingly vote to re-elect this scumbag.

Passed House (05/18/2021)
Insider Trading Prohibition Act

This bill generally provides statutory authority for the prohibition against securities trading, as well as related communications to others, by a person aware of material, nonpublic information. The bill further provides, for purposes of establishing a violation of this prohibition, that it is not necessary for such a person to know specifically how such information was obtained or whether a personal benefit was paid or promised.

I don't see liberals kicking out their corrupt class that benefit from the system either. Nancy Pelosi won't give up her seat until she croaks.
