The bill builds on last year's proposed COICA legislation, which would have given the government power to go to court and get a website's domain name blocked from American DNS servers. Credit card companies and advertising networks would be forbidden to do business with such sites. The bill was also passed unanimously by the Senate Judiciary Committee, but Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) put a hold on the bill when it came to the floor.

the previous version passed unanimously too

guess what it got killed pretty dam quickly


don't bet on this bill passing

and even if it does
don't expect it to survive the court challenge.
