Well hell we better ban IM services too because I can transfer a file over that. Come to think of it we better ban external hard drives and USB thumb drives too. Oh what was I thinking we better ban HTML since you can download off of those evil sites too. And don't forget about modems since I can create a P2P connection between comptuers with two modems. And.....get my drift here? This is so critically asinine it borders on the insane.
You know that old saying about lawyers? I'm wondering if it needs to be appended with a statement about senators since their critical thinking abilities seem to be lacking. Stupid stupid idiots.

Laws like this treat everyone in the country as guilty until proven innocent. Wasn't it supposed to be the other way around?

No one life, liberty, or pursuit of happiness can be guaranteed while Congress is in session.
