To Induce Or Not To Induce?

from the how-DC-works dept

If you've been reading Ernest Miller's The Importance Of... site this week, you'd have the inside scoop on just how Senator Hatch is working to get this bill passed. Staying true to his original statements about how even if the bill is bad for everyone, he still wants to pass it, he apparently gathered a number of people on all sides of the bill to try to work out a compromise. However, it looks like no agreement could be reached, and now some have been wondering if Hatch was going to try to push through a version anyway. For right now, Miller's source suggests that Hatch is going to take the Induce Act off the agenda for today, but that it will almost definitely show up again some time soon.

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team

    Obviously Mr. Hatch is only the front man for the INDUCE offensive. The driving forces are behind the scene, if only just. I strongly suspect that these forces won't relent, though they will almost certainly drop the INDUCE line of attack. The standard strategy would to break up the major points of this legislation and salt the pieces into other bills. We need to keep our eyes open for quite some time.
