". >> jon: so his reason for stepping down is that if he did run in 2012 he would for the first time in 20 20-years have to make himself appealing to voters. the news of his departure was greeted with respect to his service for the country. >> say good-bye to barney frank. >> he saw the writing on the wall. he's gone. >> will barney frank's departure be a boost for the economy?

it kind of takes me back to ted stevens. i have not seen much in the way of correction for those who took those prosecutorial approaches. there should have been some serious correction because of what they did to a great u.s. senator. frankly, to use an excuse that they just plain overlooked some of the most exculpatory evidence that has to be given to defendants, it would have acquitted him. it should have been used to stop any prosecution to begin with. it bothers me. it has bothered a lot of people on both sides of the aisle. you.ot necessarily blaming if we had that kind of prosecution is going on in this country -- i know you share my view on this. if with prosecutors ignoring -- if we have prosecutors ignoring the law -- you can see why some people are losing confidence in what goes on. let me change the subject. >> i was bothered by what happened there. the matter has not been dropped. opr is looking into this matter. they are in the last stages in what happened with the steven's case. there is a report that is just a

senate majority leader harry reid, former senator don nickles and the great senator, late senator ted stevens, one of the tools congress has to stop rogue agencies is the congressional review act. the congressional review act allows congress to review a rule before it takes affect and even to nullify that rule if congress finds that it is inappropriate or if it overreaches or if congress itself hasn't delegated this power to an agency. as senators reid, nickels and stevens said at the time of this bill's passage, congressional review gives the public the opportunity to call the attention of politically accountable elected officials to concerns about new agency rules. if these concerns are sufficiently serious, congress can stop the rule. we believe the concerns about the f.c.c.'s net neutrality rules are sufficiently serious to warrant the consideration of senate joint resolution 6, the disapproval resolution senator mcconnell and i introduced to nullify the f.c.c.'s net neutrality order under the congressional review act. the house has already passed its version of the resolution. we need on
