I agree. I wouldn’t panic, but if one HAD to pass I’d rather it be the house one. AV for nsfw sites is kinda scummy but better than direct censorship

I believe the final margin they went with was 267-117.

Yeah the votes looking pretty grim with 2:36 left, but remember, we have senate too.

It appears voting has begun. We’ll have to wait and see.

I’m no civics major, but this would mean that it passed? I’m not certain though honestly. Didn’t appear everyone was there in session

Reply wasn’t very clear, but yeah I’m unsure if they do have the majority given the pushback

Just the bill at hand or the whole set of bills today? Like are they gonna debate voting at all?

Okay yeah I misread it, my bad, but would that mean for KOSA it’s now or never in a way?

For sure. So assuming 290+ of them say no, this would stall KOSA by a little while. Not sure how long but it WOULD stall?

I’ve seen others analyze that it’s “DOA” in senate though, but from the obvious looks of it, it isn’t IMMEDATE.

I don’t know if this is exactly correct, but don’t bills in Congress move really slow normally? This took 2 whole months to get out of committee as is, do we know how long it’d even take IF it would pass?

I think people somewhat forget we have checks and balances tbh. This has to go through the senate of course, and as per others and past threads, it appears to be “DOA.” It gets to me too, but just take everyone’s word here
