SOPA - dates, when will it be voted through?

[del_diablo]

Can a law be sent to Supreme Court or whichever is the top court in the USA? Are there any legal means to fight the law once it has been voted?

Here where I live, we had numerous laws (that were voted and passed in the Parliament) taken to Constitutional Court because they were thought to be breaking the Constitution.

Oh, it can. But the court battle will still take 1-2 years, and you need some insane amounts of funding for lawyers.
So basically you need to find and convince some rich people or organisations to poll together resources to start the battle.
Ideally the politicans who votes for SOPA should be sentences to lifetime imprisonment, for the crime they did commit too.

Like these?:

Opponents of the bill include Google, Yahoo!, Facebook, Twitter, AOL, LinkedIn, eBay, Mozilla Corporation, the Brookings Institution, the Wikimedia Foundation, and human rights organizations such as Reporters Without Borders, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, the ACLU, and Human Rights Watch.

Yes, them. SOPA will still cause 1-2 years of damage, but at the least courts may strike it down afterwards.
