There's very little chance that the bill will actually get passed by the end of the term but, in the meantime, we figured it might be useful to highlight the 19 Senators who voted to censor the internet:

•Jeff Sessions -- Alabama
•Dianne Feinstein -- California
•Orrin G. Hatch -- Utah
•Russ Feingold -- Wisconsin
•Chuck Grassley -- Iowa
•Arlen Specter -- Pennsylvania
•Jon Kyl -- Arizona
•Chuck Schumer -- New York
•Lindsey Graham -- South Carolina
•Dick Durbin -- Illinois
•John Cornyn -- Texas
•Benjamin L. Cardin -- Maryland
•Tom Coburn -- Oklahoma
•Sheldon Whitehouse -- Rhode Island
•Amy Klobuchar -- Minnesota
•Al Franken -- Minnesota
•Chris Coons -- Delaware

'Net Neutrality' Goes 0 for 95

Regulating the Web wasn't a political winner last week.
As a reminder of unpredictability in politics, consider what happened when the Progressive Change Campaign Committee last month announced that 95 candidates for Congress had signed a pledge to support "net neutrality." The candidates promised: "In Congress, I'll fight to protect Net Neutrality for the entire Internet—wired and wireless—and make sure big corporations aren't allowed to take control of free speech online."

Last week all 95 candidates lost. Opponents of net neutrality chortled, and the advocacy group retreated to the argument that regulation of the Internet wasn't a big issue in the election.
