I neither like nor trust the bill and, after the Digital Telephony Bill and its manner of passage, my trust in the good senator is zero.
I spoke to a couple folks about this at the CDA hearings in Philadelphia last week. Word on the streets from those who would know is that the Leahy Bill has NOT A CHANCE IN HELL of passing, and so is worth supporting to raise awareness of crypto.
I did a little weekend poking, I can confirm this. If the Leahy bill passes, it will be a surprise (putting it mildly).
After DT and Clipper, it's our chance to put Clinton and the DoJ on the defensive for a change.
I suggest instead that everyone be nice and quiet. If they get busy enough, this issue might not rear its ugly head for a few terms.
