    Okay, I just read that TechDirt article.

    When was the last time Congress extended their session for anything? I seem to recall in the midst of the '08 economic downturn AND the year of the Iraq bombings, Congress was like, "Eh, we'll be back in about a month."

    http://www.techdirt.com/articles…

    "...Despite the fact that Congress was supposed to be out of session until the end of January, the Judiciary Committee has just announced plans to come back to continue the markup this coming Wednesday. This is rather unusual and totally unnecessary. But it shows just how desperate Hollywood is to pass this bill as quickly as possible, before the momentum of opposition builds up even further."

    Everything is fucked beyond belief in America these days.
