Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA)

Keep in mind you have PIPA and SOPA, one authored by the House and the other by the Senate. Both are becoming unpopular by the minute.

Harry Reid has said he won't whip Democratic votes, essentially releasing Dems who were on the fence, but didn't want to go public. So basically Reid has given them cover to vote against it -- or at least vote their conscience. I believe it goes up for a procedural test vote on Tuesday.
