This is another fine example of tacking crap onto a bill that nobody wants to vote against. Amber Alert is a good idea, something that no politician would want to be seen voting against. However, a bill like this attracts crappy tack ons, riders, and provisions that allow otherwise unpassable laws to get passed.
I think this domain law was written specifically to be shot down, was put in place only to make some people look like "they are doing something", and it will all be forgotten in a pile of first amendment arguements and "vagueness" issues. The politicians can say "we tried", the deal makers can say "you had your shot", and everyone can keep on like normal.
Anyway, based on where the economy is going, I somehow don't see Asscroft and his goon squads being around for another 4 years... so they won't even be around to see this one do the courts.
