Most people are unaware what exactly causes problems in the patent system; all they know is there might be something wrong with it. And here is a bill that they claim will "reform" it. The details, and effects of those details, are lost to the general public. It is all too likely that this bill will benefit patent trolls and large corporations at the expense of everyone else, but there is no way the public will attribute these effects (which will happen years later) to the politicians who voted on this bill. It's really sad.
