You do realise that both of these turkeys VOTED FOR (along with
the rest of both houses of Congress) the DMCA?
Passed by voice vote in one house, acclaimation in the other, no
dissenting opinions. Last I looked (bvut I didn't look carefully or
recently), even one member can ask for a roll call vote, so there isn't
one member of the House or Senate who objected in 1998.
Voted by a Republican House and a Republican Senate, and signed by
a Democratic President. Chances of the Reagan-Bush Supreme Court not
upholding it (probably along with Clinton/Carter appointees) look to be
about nil to me.
