Lamar Smith, creator of SOPA and this bill, is the same guy who killed the "Ending Federal Marijuana Prohibition Act of 2011". Proposed by Barney Frank and Ron Paul, he cut it down before it had a chance using his rank of chairman of the House Committee on the Judiciary.

It would have pushed legislation from the federal to the state level. . A lot of our young ones are ruined in our current penal system over trivial crimes.

He is a staunch anti abortion activist, and has signed multiple bills to make abortion as difficult as possible, if not impossible. Even signing a bill to prevent a mother from taking her unborn over state lines to perform an abortion.

If you ever want to know my political opinion on something, just check Lamar Smiths' position, I'll be on the other end of it.
