Rep. Chairman Lamar Smith (R-Texas), one of the biggest backers of the Stop Online Piracy Act, today said he plans to remove the Domain Name System or DNS-blocking provision.

"After consultation with industry groups across the country," Smith said in a statement released by his office, "I feel we should remove DNS-blocking from the Stop Online Piracy Act so that the [U.S. House Judiciary] Committee can further examine the issues surrounding this provision.

"We will continue to look for ways," Smith continued, "to ensure that foreign Web sites cannot sell and distribute illegal content to U.S. consumers

I know some fellow Texans who are working to boot Lamar Smith out over this, including some Tea Partiers. Going to have to ask them about this. They have quite a bit of money between them as well.

Time for Lamar to go back and play with his cows.

I run immigration Facebook and Twitter sites with 750,000 members, and want Lamar gone too. Please PM me about how to coordinate with your folks.

Putting him in charge of the Judiciary Committee was the worst decision House Republicans made after winning the last election.

I would like to vote him out as well. I would join in a serious effort to retire him.
