I would like to think congress works on important issues also, but I have seen them talk about taxing e-mail and anything else they could. Thats just a fact.

I would assume that this issue is part of a larger bill that encompasses more than one issue. Like the DMCA or COPA.

I agree it is absurd. But so was the bill they passed to allow isp's to charge a premium for allowing higher speed access to your website to their customers. A diliberate way of shutting down small business.

Absurd is correct. But congress is known for passing one absurd law after another. Calling major league baseball players in to threaten if they do not clean up their act they will lose their monopoly.

How about serving a supeona to appear to Tery Schivo in a vegitative state to prevent the removal of a feeding tube?

I would like to think they work on important issues, but it just not always true.
