The Republicans:

Behind closed doors, the two Republican members of the Securities and Exchange Commission sharply questioned senior investigators last week about whether the evidence they had assembled was strong enough to file a fraud case against Goldman Sachs, according to current and former SEC officials familiar with the matter.

The two commissioners... voted against approving it.

Courts should decide whether or not Goldman should pay damages - not Republicans. First it's Mitch McConnell meeting with Wall Street executives behind closed doors and, hours after the meeting, taking action to stymie real reform. Now, it's Republicans on the SEC saying no to letting the courts decide Goldman's fate. More and more, it seems that the Republicans who would rather do Wall Street's bidding than hold them accountable.
