WASHINGTON -- The Senate is currently debating housing legislation, with several amendments to the base package under discussion. Senator Durbin's (D-Il.) amendment to allow bankruptcy judges to amend mortgage terms was introduced and four Republicans, including Sam Brownback of Kansas spoke against it.
