It is a risk. But perhaps the Congress would decide that discretion was the better part of valor and back out of many issues that they really aren't adding alot of value to. I live in New York, so one of my Senators is Chuck Schumer. He's a pretty good guy, but he loves the limelight. So he sticks his nose into anything that will get him on the local TV news. Right now, for example, he's very concerned about some some of caffeine inhaler that "the children" are going to be harmed by. I'm pretty happy with him as a Senator, but I'd rather he think about things like SOPA/PROTECT-IP than caffeine mist. Maybe organized mass outrage would help in that area?
