Feds in Toyland   [Ramesh Ponnuru]

Last year, Congress passed a law to respond to the lead-paint-in-Chinese-toys hysteria. The vote was 89-3 in the Senate, 424-1 in the House. Walter Olson reports that the law is a nightmare of regulatory overreach that could throw a lot of companies out of business and raise the cost of children's products. Republicans Tom Coburn, Jim DeMint, Jon Kyl, and Ron Paul deserve credit for voting against it.
