| SOPA shelved until 'consensus' is found | |
| 2012-01-15 | |
| House Oversight Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) said early Saturday morning that Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) promised him the House will not vote on the controversial Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) unless there is consensus on the bill. "While I remain concerned about Senate action on the Protect IP Act, I am confident that flawed legislation will not be taken up by this House," Issa said in a statement. Â "Majority Leader Cantor has assured me that we will continue to work to address outstanding concerns and work to build consensus prior to any anti-piracy legislation coming before the House for a vote."

| #5 Anyone who votes for SOPA needs to have their tongue removed since they obviously don't need it anymore to voice an opinion. |

| #4 SOPA is an excellent example of rent-seeking. |

| #1 ...at least until after the next election, when lobbyist money will again matter a lot more than voter discontent. |
