Profiles in Courage

So the House has passed a bill outlawing price gouging.  The problem is they don't bother defining it.  They leave that to the Federal Trade Commission.  First, price fixing (which could be deemed separate from price gouging) is already illegal.  More importantly, if you are going to make something illegal, don't you think you should be able to define what it is?  Also, suggesting that current gas prices are too high suggests that we know what the "correct" price of gas should be.  How would one even begin to determine the "proper" price of anything?  Usually we leave that up to the free market.  I note that Stephanie Herseth voted for this exercise in futility.
