U.S. Senators George Voinovich and Mike DeWine want to make it tougher for regular people to declare bankruptcy. But they seem to have a special place -- and a loophole -- in their hearts for terrorists and murderers.

A few years ago, the nutbags who bomb abortion clinics and shoot doctors discovered a cool legal trick. By declaring bankruptcy right before a judge found them guilty, they could hide their assets from the gub'ment. That proved especially handy when their victims' families sued for damages.

So when Republican leaders drafted a bill to make it easier for banks to collect their debts, Democrats figured that terrorists shouldn't get a pass. They wrote an amendment that would prevent doctor-killers from using bankruptcy to further screw their victims.

Unfortunately, the good senators from Ohio voted to crack down on bankruptcy for regular schmucks -- the vast majority of whom go broke via medical bills or job loss -- but gave a pass to terrorists...
