Slyck News - Judiciary Committee Approves Internet Censorship Bill
So they all supported it eh.. Who is in the Judiciary Committee?
Committee Members
Ron Wyden is using whatever power he has to stop the bill (after reading around I still dont know how senators can block bills)
Internet Censorship Bill | Ron Wyden | Geekosystem
Now I've seen everyone getting excited over this but really, I'm not at all impressed with Ron Wydens stance.
As we see with the judiciary committee and with a democrat introducing the bill and a democrat blocking(?) it, this issue is non-partisan and seems to have most of the support from everyone in Washington. Even the idea of combating copyright infringement in general is supported by the one person who is blocking(?) this bill. I can only guess that a "precision guided missile" is a copyright patriot act and nationalization schemes like "net neutrality" that will be fraudulently marketed as a way to fund/create innovation, jobs, security and all of that other BS government cannot and will not provide without lost liberty, deficit spending, hyper extortion and big media run amok.
There wasn't even any opposition, it just passed with flying colors

"It seems to me that online copyright infringement is a legitimate problem, but it seems to me that COICA as written is the wrong medicine. Deploying this statute to combat online copyright infringement seems almost like using a bunker-busting cluster bomb when what you really need is a precision-guided missile. The collateral damage of this statute could be American innovation, American jobs, and a secure Internet."
