Hollings is such a whiney jerk.
The bad news is sooner or later this bill in some revised form will be passed.

 

[TheShiz]

there is no way this kind of crap will pass, if it does, then I'm moving to a different country.

As long as Sen Patrick Leahy is against it, its never going to pass. I think he knows it would have a great impact on the 2002 elections. It will be interesting to see if the bill is reintroduced in 2003, under a new name(again). I can see the democrats against it now, supporting it if they reclaim the house and have better majority in the Senate.

The bill IS NOT defeated yet, it could still get out of committee, but its not likely with a big general election right around the corner. Its really next year you have to worry about, hopefully democrats dont gain anything, or dont gain enough to be able to over ride a veto. Because I can see as I said, democrats going from being against it pre election to for it after, I also see Bush vetoing without a second thought.

sounds to me like mr. hollings is just a mouthpiece for big media companies. i hope this issue never comes up again.

I've never thought this bill would pass. Can't say I'm suprised.
