At my last count, there were five representatives actively opposing SOPA (Representatives Issa, Polis, Chaffetz, Lofgren, and Jackson, with roughly equal representation from both parties)
Really? I’m kind of surprised Paul hasn’t taken up this banner. Maybe he’s busy with that whole “presidential campaign” business. I hear it’s time consuming.
Ron Paul has stated opposition to the act in the past, but I’ve been unable to find any evidence of recent activity on his part, so I classed him as a non-active opponent of the bill. I seem to remember there being a whopping ten representatives signing an anti-SOPA pledge a while back, which is probably a decent estimate of how many representatives oppose the bill (certainly it would indicate a supermajority in favor of the bill).
