Do the members of Congress who supported SOPA/PIPA till the end...

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

Some of them do and some of them don't. Some are old fogeys who Just Don't Get It; some of them can be forgiven and supported despite, some I don't think should be (Patrick Leahy, for me, falls into the former category, since I'm from Vermont and sentimental about him on several levels, even though he is genuinely just awful on this particular set of issues). Some are unfortunately beholden to some interest or another but are otherwise decent or even good (Al Franken comes to mind, with his obvious connections to, sympathies with, and it could be argued blind spot regarding the entertainment industry). Some deserve the smackdown. In fact, I'd go so far as to say most. I was hugely disappointed in some of these people, and some of them have always been generally terrible.

Perhaps only Al Franken, because I like him.

That was the one genuinely surprising name on that list. (Most of the fresher housepeople, of course, I don't know enough about to feel surprise whether they're on or not.)

Anyways, the serious answer is: It does weigh quite negatively. But no one single thing can be important enough to determine that. And of course, the alternatives will matter as well.

Remember that Franken's 'from' the entertainment industry, as it were, and has a lot of connections there. It's, in my view, an understandable blind spot of his.
