Cybersecurity bills doomed without vote by July, says Lieberman http://j.mp/K60ha7 (Digital Trends) "The Cybersecurity Act of 2012 (CSA) will die if the Senate fails to bring the legislation up for a vote before July, said the bill's lead sponsor Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT) in a speech to his colleagues on Tuesday. In a show of support for Lieberman, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) said that he hopes to bring the bill up for a vote before the full Senate "as soon as possible." "The truth is, if we don't take it up in July and see if we've got the votes we're not going to be able to pass this legislation in a way that's timely and allows us to go to conference, reach an agreement and send the bill to the president," said Lieberman." - - - Given how flawed the current legislation is, this is taking the "glass half full" point of view!
