Possibly. But the pro-blacklist contingent has amended the agenda with a series of friendly amendments, any of which might get filibustered by either side such that the about face might not get addressed - or, at least, that's what some fear. Obligatory internet research content (OIRC): The opposition to the blacklist has received little or no print press or other coverage, and has been largely (perhaps almost entirely) an online phenomena. What are some other instances of decision-making and/or policymaking that have been almost exclusively online, for organizations which are predominantly offline? -eg
