From the article: 'Congress plans to cover some important tech issues in 2006 [...] like digital communication, intellectual property law, and computer security. [...] Patent reform is also on the menu. Industry groups have requested that the government allow them to participate in the patent review process, and some legislators have discussed imposing stricter constraints upon patent related injunctions..'"

I think you're greatly overestimating the way they do things these days:
"I don't want to obey those laws, and you can't make me, you can't make me, you can't make me!"
"But you promised!"

Hint: The second part is especially characteristic of your typical Democratic Congresscritter.
