- danso 15y agoYeah....that info is actually in there, on the profile...obviously, that's not of much help. I originally envisioned this as showing every active member as once but realized that sending 500 images on every frontpage load would be annoying...So, not all judiciary members will be visible. I guess I could just put them on their own page. The House committee markup page can be found here: http://judiciary.house.gov/hearings/mark_12152011.html http://judiciary.house.gov/hearings/mark_12152011.html One think I've learned (even more clearly than I knew beforehand) was that our government is not very data-oriented. You can tell from the amendment voting that there are a few people (who I didn't have time to go through and include) who could be classified as opponents because they are voting in a bloc with Issa and the other OPEN act advocates during the amendment process. However, to programmatically parse that...requires OCR fun: http://judiciary.house.gov/hearings/pdf/12152011RC3%20-%20Issa%20Amdt7.pdf http://judiciary.house.gov/hearings/pdf/12152011RC3%20-%20Is...
