Not going to happen. Congress is pissed that people like the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America, the Recording Industry Association of America, the Entertainment Software Association have had complete access to the treaty texts all along while only select members of congress have only been given limited access to parts of the treaty. Now Wiki has leaked it they look like fools.
Not going to happen.
We'll see.
It seems like "Congressional Outrage!" is a pretty shallow and temporary thing, easily assuaged.
Put more plainly, the filthy sluts will trick when they get spanked and paid.
Congress is pissed that
Irrelevant. Outrage is only an excuse, to lard in some more handouts for Richie Rich, fetal personhood riders, etc. Once they get to stamp their favorite addons in there, they will hold their noses and vote for it as always. Key members will be allowed to vote against, for appearance sake.

Either all of these people are evil crooked bastards, or the Lunch at congress must be some damned good food. No body can be this useless day in and day out at their job. If they weren't making money for looking inept.
At last, bipartisanship!
