This just seems ridiculous to me. How can Congress have the nerve to
sue other countries for not doing what we should be doing ourselves.
Providing oil for domestic use and export, from vast known reserves.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The House of Representatives overwhelmingly
approved legislation on Tuesday allowing the Justice Department to sue
OPEC members for limiting oil supplies and working together to set
crude prices, but the White House threatened to veto the measure.
The bill would subject OPEC oil producers, including Saudi Arabia, Iran
and Venezuela, to the same antitrust laws that U.S. companies must
follow.
The measure passed in a 324-84 vote, a big enough margin to override a
presidential veto.
The lawmaker said Americans "are at the mercy" of OPEC for how much
they pay for gasoline, which this week hit a record average of $3.79 a
gallon.
