Moderator note:  Originally a separate topic labeled "What happened to the SOPA notice and the SOPA projects featured?"

Did SOPA not pass? Or did it, and the Attorney General decided to take them down?

Yeah, the day is over by now, and also the banner was removed several hours ago.

If your reading this, then it's 6 days until internet is gone. Pray that we get to keep the internet. Scratch, Minecraft, Facebook, Myspace, and anything you can think of that is affiliated with internet uses is gone by then. Posted Wednesday, January 18, 2012. Keep opposing SOPA and PIPA!

It may not pass, and even if it does then it'll be vetoed and have to go back and be passed again by 2/3

And barrack obama may decide to abort it.

It's possible for Congress to override a veto.

Isn't that what I said?

Not exactly, your reply kind of makes it somewhat misleading as if it doesn't sound like the veto is being overidden. Just because a bill is vetoed doesn't mean that it will necessarily go back to Congress in order to pass by a 2/3 vote.

When a president vetoes a bill, the president is pretty much saying "no" to the bill, which suggests that it should be revised. This sends the bill back to Congress, and Congress may continue to revise the bill until both the executive (president) and legislative (Congress) branch agree on the bill (in other words, back to square one)

Overriding a veto means that Congress can find a way to ignore a president's suggestion for revision - they won't need to change the bill at all. So overriding a veto isn't good in this case (especially considering that there's probably enough support to do so); should PIPA pass, we would want Congress to honor the veto and go back and revise the bill instead.
