A day after a blistering rebuke from comedian and former talk show host Jon Stewart, members of a House Judiciary Committee unanimously approved legislation to make the Sept. 11 Victim Compensation Fund permanent. In a scolding that drew a lot of interest from news organizations and on social media, Stewart blasted members of Congress during an appearance on Capital Hill Tuesday for allowing so sufficiently support the fund which was designed to assist "sick and dying" Sept. 11 first responders and their families. Dozens of first-responders who have been impacted by illnesses related to their work in response to the Sept. 11 terrorism attacks joined Stewart in attending Tuesday's committee session to lobby for passage of the extension measure. On Wednesday, the House Judiciary Committee responded by approving the bill which will allow it to be considered by the full House.
