Prospects for Cybersecurity Bill Dim
Joe Lieberman bill that mirrors Chinese, Russian policy proposals unlikely to make it out of Senate
The fate of cybersecurity legislation in the Senate is expected to be determined on Thursday, when cloture for Sen. Joe Lieberman's (I-Conn.) Cybersecurity Act ripens.
By all appearances, the cybersecurity bill doesn't have enough Republican support to get cloture and move to the finish line. Still, a group of senators met Wednesday afternoon to try to see if some sort of a compromise could be worked out.

Never compromise with Joe Lieberman. He is a piece of shit. A classic example of a crazy ass liberal who masks as an 'independent' basically so he can call for more government intervension from either the republican or democrat aisle.
total piece of shit.
