Well when I read that I pretty much instantly saw the point in terms of the TOS. Supreme Court basically nuked a national TOS similar to the one in force here. This topic is only partisan if you really try and make it partisan. Most of the Supreme Court ruling is developed out of logic rather than opinion or politics as I read it - that is what should be gleaned from this more than anything.
Your welcome -I normally write strictly scifi/fantasy so the "translation" really was a good writing exercise - plus it made me think hard on the intent behind that verbage. Basically they mean to protect us - even if some of us dont see that. Sounds to me, my opinion which I can not qualify, that this CPPA was an exercise in crappy kneejerk bipartisan politics - probably tinged with hopes of gaining votes at home in the ranks of both parties else something so obviously flawed would have never made it into law. This CPPA should be rewritten with much more thought to protecting innocent people from undue persecution.
With that I think I am done here... I want to do some art now.
