CLAIM vs. FACT: Upcoming Bankruptcy Bill Vote

This is culled from Atrios's terrific post:

CLAIM:
"We would like a [bankruptcy] bill that did more to protect people by the way who have medical liabilities - people that have divorces that are looking for either alimony or child custody money are protected in this bill."
- Rep. Ellen Tauscher (D-CA), 4/7/05

FACT:
On 4/13/05 (the eve of the final vote on the bankruptcy bill) Rep. Ellen Tauscher authored a memo to House Democrats saying "that final passage of the [bankruptcy] bill will be a key vote" for Democrats. She and her allies wrote that they "encourage [other members] to support this common-sense, bipartisan legislation," and said "it is past time that Congress pass sensible bankruptcy reform."
