CISPA passes

I am against internet censorship.  I know how these things work; our Fourth Amendment is already hanging by a thread, and public outcry helped kill SOPA/PIPA, and now here comes a similar bill with less publicity.  It passed the House easily, partial thanks to two of Utah's congressmen, Jim Matheson (D) and Jason Chaffetz (R).  Kudos to Rob Bishop (R) for voting No.

Here's the roll call for how they voted.

It's all done in the name of keeping us safe and preventing cyber-attacks, but naturally it allows for mischeif and collusion between corporations and the government.  The Obama Administration pledged yesterday to veto the bill in its current form.  I hope they stick to that.
