According to Andy Carvin, DOPA has just died in the Senate. From his blog – “The end of 2006 also marks the end of the current congressional session
in the House and Senate, closing the door on the Deleting Online
Predators Act.”
I don’t know a whole lot about politics – is this true? I certainly hope so!
As soon as the current term expires, it’s dead, and there’s pretty much no likelihood the senate will act upon it over the holidays.

That is VERY cool. Yippie!

I’ll see that “yippie!” and raise you a “hallelujah!” That is really really good news.

Don’t be too overjoyed. It’s even easier to reintroduce a stalled bill than it is to write a new one. Given the margin that DOPA passed by, and given that a fair number of the new congressfolk are social conservatives, I wouldn’t be at all surprised to see DOPA pop up again–but it does seem likely that it would at least get hearings this time around instead of just chugging along the railroad express.
The bill itself is dead; the notion, quite possibly with the same name, seems likely to rise again. Unfortunately.
