Tracking the Congressional Response to Iqbal

Last week's Senate hearings regarding the impact of Iqbal and Twombly (see posts here and here) were in aid of the Notice Pleading Restoration Act of 2009, S. 1504. The pending bill is reproduced here on the GPO website in PDF. The bill is mentioned in Senator Feingold's opening statement.

There are several new ways to track pending bills in Congress. You might be interested in using GovTrack.us or OpenCongress.org. Both allow for the free tracking of individual bills. You can see previous posts about these Web 2.0 tools here on LLRX, and here and here. Unfortunately, Thomas, while providing a feed for a daily digest and for Senate and House floor action, is not yet providing feeds for individual bills.
