The Dodd-Frank bill -- named after Dodd and Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.), who ushered it through the House -- passed by a vote of 60 to 39. Three Republican senators -- Scott Brown of Massachusetts and Olympia J. Snowe and Susan Collins of Maine -- joined 57 members of the Democratic caucus in support. Sen. Russell Feingold of Wisconsin was the lone Democratic opponent, saying the measure didn't go far enough.

If you're interested in hearing what Barney Frank has to say about the bill, he'll be discussing it with Charlie Rose tonight on Bloomberg Television. There's a brief preview of the interview posted on Facebook. If you'd like to check it out, visit: http://www.facebook.com/BloombergTelevision
