I was surprised as well. In an alternate universe where Rick Perry had won the primaries and presidency, I wonder if he would have strong support for this bill as president. [edit, still playing political fantasy] Actually, now would be a good time for Senator Cruz to take a similar bill to the Senate. It would die, of course, but at least he would score some points with internet people (like Daryl Issa did during SOPA) with minimal investment of political capital on his part.
