Thanks for the history info there. As I recall from reading the bills the biggest problem was a deep lack of understanding of the technologies involved. I remember having the feeling that the people pushing the bill wanted to look good to their supporters but didn't take the time to figure out a real and working way to keep underage eyeballs off adult websites.
Now I'm not a republican or a democrat but I will point out to those who haven't thought about it that when a republican is in office and a Supreme Court seat comes available that we are almost always going to get a "right wing" judge appointed. So the balance of the voting might be favorable to the first amendment now, but if that balance shifts then one might expect another round of laws trying to be passed through since the authors of it would figure it's more likely to stand up in a battle.
