CISPA passed the House

Thought there was a topic on this already but search doesn't pull anything up

Anywho, for those that are interested CISPA passed House vote.

passerby

think everyone just realized that there representatives don't represent the public at all, and knew it would get pushed through in some form 1 way or the other.

It hasn't been enacted it only passed the house, still needs to go through the senate and be signed into law.

From a legislative point of view a 'no' doesn't mean 'no', it simply means you don't support a bill in it's current form (you're actually saying 'yes' to the principle of the bill, but 'no' to the way it's being proposed). From what I understand he has never supported the bill in any form so abstained from voting.

not true, if you vote no you at the same exact time are saying no to the Principle and to the way it's proposed. What the hell are talking about a NO is a NO!

Edit:
this is getting real scary now. These are crazy times in USSA, the legislations they keep passing get bolder and bolder, and keep under-minding our civil liberties. Welcome to the 2 party dictatorship.
