We May Yet Win On SOPA

The tide seems to be turning on SOPA with this announcement coming from the White House.

"While we believe that online piracy by foreign websites is a serious problem that requires a serious legislative response, we will not support legislation that reduces freedom of expression, increases cybersecurity risk, or undermines the dynamic, innovative global Internet,"

Okay, if he wanted to be more forceful Obama could have threatened a veto. Let's see he killed bin Laden and now this. If only I could get over his unconstitutional war in Libya, his unconstitutional recess appointments, the stimulus bill, Obamacare, Dodd-Frank, Solyndra, Fast and Furious, LightSquared, Eric Holder, TSA, border security and his illegal aunt and uncle I would be inclined to give him a D-.

Congressman Darrell Issa has said that majority leader Eric Cantor will not allow the bill to come to the floor until a census has been reached. In the Senate Harry Reid has promised to push on despite White House opposition and the defection of 6 Senators who warned in a letter against rushing the bill through. Taking a look closer at home both Indiana senators and the entire congressional are uncommitted. In Ohio Senator Sharrod Brown is a co-sponsor of Protect IP, the senate counterpart of SOPA, and Congressman Steve Chabot is a co-sponsor of SOPA. Senator Portman is uncommitted as is the rest of the congressional delegation. To see how your senators and congressman stand go here.
