“ On the Senate side, Google doesn’t even have the backing of one of its own Senator, Democrat Dianne Feinstein. When HuffPost asked Feinstein, a Protect IP co-sponsor, if it was difficult for her to navigate the bill with Silicon Valley and Hollywood on opposite sides, she responded: “I don’t believe that they are. I thought we had reconciled the issues. The bill’s been passed out of committee.” The response seems incredible given the outcry from Silicon Valley, and Google in particular, but the complexity of the legislation has left many lawmakers vulnerable to K Street spin. ”
Barbara Boxer, another California senator, is also a Protect IP co-sponsor. I guess you have to choose which constituencies to serve and which to be totally clueless about.
