    It's scary that so many prominent Dems support the Censorship Doctrine, but I don't think it will ever pass Senate.  Most of the Congressmen who publicly support it are Reps, where there is less accountability. 

    If it does pass, though, it might be a good way for the Republicans to take control of Congress for 20 more years, though.
