Facing a major protest on the Internet, and slight coverage in the regular press (Page A17 in the Times, for example), six SOPA-curious GOP senators have asked Harry Reid to postpone a vote on the bill, and Pat Leahey and sponsor Lamar Smith say they want the most objectionable part of the bill, the DNS blacklist, pulled for now.
