    I want the previous insider traders punished as well.

      Insider trading is currently illegal (nominally). Congressional stock trading (not necessarily insider) would be banned by that bill, and to your point about "previous": I think it's fairly well established that laws can't be enforced retroactively: https://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution-conan/article-1/section-9/clause-3/ex-post-facto-laws https://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution-conan/article-1/sec... My point is that this bill won't help our desire to see punishment for (alleged) insider trading by congress that is already happening.
