Idiots! This is American Capitalism at it's best. Corporate America has used Congress before and more importantly they have great influence on many a state legislature. They have bought a considerable part of the GOP. But most Republican voters will get caught up in the hysteria they will vote against their own interests most every time.
"it sends is that corporations can get around consumer safety protections if they get Congress on their side."
Perhaps our politicians should start reading the damn bills from start to finish. I thought they would have learned that from the healthcare bill. I guess it's asking too much for them to do their damn jobs. Maybe we aren't paying them enough to do it right.

Genetically engineered plants are generated in a laboratory by altering their genetic makeup and are tested in the laboratory for desired qualities. This is usually done by adding one or more genes to a plant's genome using genetic engineering techniques. Most genetically modified plants are generated by the biolistic method (particle gun) or by Agrobacterium tumefaciens mediated transformation.
Once satisfactory plants are produced, sufficient seeds are gathered, and the companies producing the seed need to apply for regulatory approval to field-test the seeds. If these field tests are successful, the company must seek regulatory approval for the crop to be marketed (see Regulation of the release of genetic modified organisms). Once that approval is obtained, the seeds are mass-produced, and sold to farmers. The farmers produce genetically modified crops, which also contain the inserted gene and its protein product. The farmers then sell their crops as commodities into the food supply market, in countries where such sales are permitted.

The essence of the legislation as far as I can understand is that Monsanto is not held responsible for what they release onto the public, they become untouchable legally..sweeeeet deal I'd say..
There was a time it seemed that individuals (corporations), bankers and politicians were held responsible for what they imposed on the American people, or, at least they weren't so blatant about shoving their power in our faces.
