Rick Sense of the new and improved Inside Scoop points out that Steve Kagen recently sponsored legislation to loose the lawyers on OPEC. The legislation subjects the OPEC nations to the same anti-trust laws of U.S. companies (how he gets around sovereign immunity is beyond the scope of this article, but an interesting question). The basic theory goes: you’re not producing enough oil for American consumers to keep prices down, so we’ll sue you.

Of course, under that liability theory, we should all sue Steve Kagen and Nancy Pelosi for stopping America from producing more oil by doing things like drilling for it!
