Of course, the Very Serious People^™ are claiming that it’s a compromise, but it’s a weasel.

You see, his “compromise” would make the Federal Government, as opposed to the telcos, the defendants. This allows for wholesale classification, foot dragging, sovereign immunity, and all the other tricks which would guarantee that nothing would come out.

Seriously, this sort of crap is why our government is so f*^%ed up.
