How do you know Obama will veto it? If your vision is correct it sounds really good. | ||

What are they doing exactly? Do they all have different versions of the law or they want to change the original bill? Or have they not voted on that yet? It's a bit confusing for me. So right now the bill is in a committee in the lower house of Congress (the House of Representative). A committee is just a small bipartisan group tasked with figuring the initial draft out. They've been debating for weeks and making their own proposals, and today was going to be the day they planned on voting. However, they've been going back and forth trying to have their own ideas added and others' ideas removed so they haven't voted yet. Anyway, once they pass the bill in the committee, it then goes to the floor of the full House where every Representative votes. Here everyone will probably argue over the bill for a few days, and the bill will likely be substantially revised. If it eventually passes by a simple majority after a vote, it moves to the Senate where they basically do the same thing and vote. By the time Senate votes, the bill is going to be pretty different than what it used to be. Regardless, they will vote, it will pass or fail and it goes to the president. He can either sign it into law or veto it. If he signs it, it becomes a law and the Supreme Court can (and will in this case) review it to determine it's constitutionality. If Obama vetos it, it will go all the way back to the House and start over, but this time they will need a 2/3rd vote to pass it (so the bill will change even more and more). The Senate will also need a 2/3rd vote to override the veto. If this happens, it becomes law and the Supreme Court will review it. No matter what, the final bill will be drastically different from what it is now, and it will take months to pass if it even does. And even after it passes (which is highly unlikely), it then still won't really go into effect for probably a year or so. | ||

Obama (or his aide) have already said that he will veto it. However it can still pass even if he veto it, but then the court will need more then 2/3 of the total votes. | ||

He's threatened to veto similar net neutrality bills in the past, effectively ending their debate in Congress since the Democrats won't really go against him and the Republicans don't have 2/3rds of the houses nor do all the Republicans support the bill. | ||

There's a meme for this but TL.net disaproves. Great attitude. "Well, this might not directly impact me, so sucks for you." Also, it does. If you visit US based websites, if you know of any blogs you visit which can heavy web traffic from the US, this DIRECTLY effects them and you. Want to start a website that is relevant to SOPA? Say goodbye to your visitors from the US. Oh, and let's not forget this could a scary precedent worldwide. Don't you think governments from other nations have their eyes on this, some of them thinking, "Well, the US is taking a major step in this. It would be easy to follow in their footsteps." This isn't a matter that effects only Americans. If you can't think of a reason to care about your fellow netizens because they aren't countrymen, you'll get no sympathy when it happens to you. | ||

And on top of that, many sites and services that aren't in the US still receive a majority of their traffic from Americans, so cutting the US off from them would still destroy their income. US page views are worth a lot of money comparatively. | ||

He is basically saying that the companies need immunity or they will support rogues sites forever because they could be sued for shutting down service, which is of course WRONG. | ||

This is a government for the people and by the people. These bills are not negotiable from the start. NDAA violates the 4th, 6th directly and possibly more amendments. SOPA directly violates the 1st in free speech and media/press. We the people are the bosses of the government and these government slaves work for us. let's not let them misunderstand this relationship. If we dont like it, we change it, by force if we have too. Our freedoms are not negotiable and can't be vote upon. Amen! | ||
