According to the article above they didn?t want it in the first place and only capitulated once the Republicans tried to make it a ?Clinton is for porn? issue. The Bush administration decided to revive COPPA from the dead. The simple facts are if you have Republicans in the White House and in Congress they will advocate for things like this, and appoint judges that will likely uphold things like this. If you have Democrats in charge of both the White House and Congress, obscenity prosecutions and new laws like COPPA aren?t as likely to happen because it isn?t something their base cares much about. While you can?t make any guarantees how any appointed judge will vote once they are the bench Judges appointed by Democrats are less likely to filter their decisions through bible like Justice Scallia declared he does a few years ago.

Besides from hoping that a judge appointed by a democrat is less likely to pass the bill into law, there really isn't nothing else to it.
How many times are they allowed bring it to the surpreme court?
Because the way I see it, they are just going to keep changing things around in the bill until they finally pass it.
