Try and keep up. Attempting to hang a lousy Bill from 3 years ago around Dem necks is a loser's game, and it won't distract voters from Trump's miserable approval ratings.

But, righties need 'shiny objects' to keep themselves amused.

It's not going to be funny a month and a half from now though.

Senate approves anti-sex-trafficking bill

Washington (CNN) — The Senate voted Wednesday to approve an anti-sex-trafficking bill that would allow victims of sex trafficking to seek justice against online platforms that knowingly facilitate the act, a move that prosecutors, victims and anti-trafficking activists are heralding as an essential step in cracking down on the crime.

But others, such as tech advocacy groups, fear the limitations it could place on free speech on the internet.

The bill passed 97-2, and now goes to the White House for President Donald Trump's signature. The White House has expressed support for the proposal.

The bipartisan measure, the Stop Enabling Sex Traffickers Act, would create an exception to Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act to allow victims of sex trafficking to sue websites that enabled their abuse.

The House version passed with an overwhelming majority from both parties by 388-25 and later received an endorsement from the White House.

"The bill really moves the ball forward on an area with strong Republican and Democratic consensus at a time of horrible partisan rancor," Mark P. Lagon, the former US ambassador-at-large to combat and monitor trafficking in persons, told CNN.
