Someone can feel free to correct any of this info that may be incorrect. Just catching up on this situation after being too busy to read much news over the past while.
First, this is not law (yet). The vote was simply to have it leave committee.
Second, with the likes of Feingold and Franken voting for this to leave committe, you have to think something's up. Both of these fellows have been on the side of freedom on so many things, supporters of net neutrality and individual rights and privacy in the past. My hope (possibly naively) is that they passed it unanimously and quickly for other reasons. They think that right now this bill could get killed outside of this committee but aren't confident that it could be stopped later.
