Internet ‘kill switch’ bill will return

“A controversial bill handing President Obama power over privately owned computer systems during a “national cyberemergency,” and prohibiting any review by the court system, will return this year.

Internet companies should not be alarmed by the legislation, first introduced last summer by Sens. Joseph Lieberman (I-Conn.) and Susan Collins (R-Maine), a Senate aide said last week. Lieberman, an independent who caucuses with Democrats, is chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee.”

It would be a herculean task getting that through the House. It has zero chance of passing. Also: Lieberman has just emasculated himself early in the 112th Congress by announcing he is a lame duck.
