Cory Doctrow at bOing bOing brings us Congressmen ask ad companies to pretend SOPA is law, break anti-trust:
A murder of Congresscritters and Senators have told Internet ad-brokers that they expect them to behave as though SOPA passed into law (instead of suffering hideous, total defeat); they want the companies to establish a secret, unaccountable blacklist of "pirate" sites. The group comprises Congressmen Bob Goodlatte and Adam Schiff, and Senators Sheldon Whitehouse and Orrin Hatch. This isn't just a terrible idea, it's also an obviously illegal antitrust violation.
He also links Mitch Stoltz from the Electronic Frontier Foundation Who points out this is a violation of the Sherman Anti-Trust law.

I'm not a violent individual, and despise violence overall. However, if someone were to string them up, as a lesson to others in such a position, I would not lift a finger to stop it. In fact, I would probably celebrate. The blatant corruption must be stopped somehow, and voting has thus far proven to not be the answer, as most Americans know.
