That was quick. A legislative procedure that some thought might take five days took about 30 minutes yesterday.
The Senate Banking Committee, voting along party lines-13-10-passed Chairman Christopher Dodd's (D-Conn.) bill for revamping the way financial services are regulated and sent it to the full chamber.

Many of the other amendments will either be the subject of additional negotiations before the bill reaches the full Senate or will be presented as amendments during debate. No timetable has been set for the Senate to take up the bill. If it passes that chamber, it must be reconciled with a similar measure passed by the House last December.
