     I agree it is a very strong decision - but the decision does leave 
     some room for a more targeted law - as several of the sites have made 
     clear.  The www.news.com site, for example, and the www.abcnews.com 
     site both contained material during the day suggesting that the 
     sponsors will be back for another bite at the apple with a narrower 
     law.  Those sites change their content during the day, so the 
     supporting articles may have evaporated by now.

 Still there were 7 votes strongly saying "no."
