Simply excise that language from the U.S. Constitution. It sounds like it’s a big boon for you, Joe Meatball, but what it actually says is that extremely rich people should have their interests defended at your expense. You’ll know internet bigfeet are serious about liberty when they unite to get Rotarian Socialist rent-seeking out of the Constitution.

I thought Wikipedia going dark was a dumbass stunt, and the idea that politicians have learned their lesson is absurd. They will sneak this through by other means, when the net.panderers are pandering elsewhere. But the interesting thing to me about this contretemps is that Tea Party hero Marco Rubio was one of the sponsors of the Senate version of the bill. We do not need any more laws. We need to repeal laws in vast bulk, as many as possible, as quickly as possible. If there is anything left of the Tea Party, this is the message they need to communicate to politicians seeking their support.
This is more like it. This will make the statists completely apeshit, but the more they fight in the net.world, the more they will find themselves overmatched.
