User blog comment:Craiglpalmer/SOPA and PIPA Situation Summary/@comment-1393830-20120117231404

I posted this elsewhere but Ill repost here. SOPA and PIPA will not pass. I work in politics, I know many of the politicians who will be voting on these bills. There is not enough support to pass these bills and if they do pass, Obama declared that he will veto them. With the election so close, he will not go back on his word for fear of losing. If vetoed, they are dead. They will never be able to come up with the necessary votes to overturn a veto. These bills are effectively dead already. No need to panic.
