Representative Lamar Smith has spent the last three months going to war with the entire Internet. And a few of the web’s biggest sites going on strike isn’t about to stop him now.
With a vote on SOPA indefinitely delayed, several of the most controversial portions of the bill excised and the White House committed to opposing the bill in its current form, the tech industry’s least favorite piece of legislation seems close to dead. A day of protest against SOPA and its Senate cousin the Protect IP Act, in which sites like Reddit, Wikipedia, Boing Boing, Major League Gaming, The Cheezburger Network, Tor and others plan to go offline for twelve hours Wednesday, may have seemed like overkill.

Does Lamar Smith even remotely get that shutting websites down with absolutely no legal recourse of said website is the most abhorrent violation of DUE PROCESS OF LAW?
