Smoking DOPA redux

The House has passed H.R. 5319: Deleting Online Predators Act of 2006

"This bill passed in the House of Representatives by roll call vote. The vote was held under a suspension of the rules to cut debate short and pass the bill, needing a two-thirds majority. The totals were: 410 Ayes, 15 Nays, 7 Present/Not Voting."

For those not familiar with it, it's the bill that will prevent children from using your library's online reference service since they need to be "protected: from chat rooms.
