Excerpts from internet.cypherpunks: 9-Jun-96 Gore opposes unwarranted'' .. by Joseph M. R. Jr.@MIT.EDU
Sounds good but I had to laugh when I heard it... is he at odds with other members of the administration, or is this rhetoric?
Heh. It's rhetoric, but it's also a sign of the shift in political tides in DC. Now it's possible for politicos to claim the CDA went a bit too far -- but they waited for a broad, corporate, mainstream challenge to the CDA and a negative reaction to the DoJ's arguments from the judges before they felt comfy taking this position. Jack Fields, chair of House telecom subcom, made similar mouthings last month in a speech I reported on in this month's (or was it last month's) Internet World. Also check out my f-c dispatch #13 for background on Gore's stand. -Declan
