• On April 05, 2009, by Strankon - This is just another dictatorial power grab by a fascist administration, and a slap in the face of the CONSTITUTION! This bill go hand in hand with S.773, and would be a blatant attack on the 4th ammendment.

• On April 26, 2009, by MercilessPit - The internet, as the last bastion of unexpurgated information, is now in congress's cross-hairs. We all know they want to have ultimate control over the information we receive so that they can censor information and keep the people in the dark about their dark agenda, that being ultimately unlimited control.
