Meet Lamar Smith: Rep To Head House Committee On Science, Space, And Technology (theverge.com) 10 points by simba-hiiipower 13y ago ↗ HN
[–] anilgupta 13y ago ↗ Here's a good breakdown of his voting history on technology issues:http://www.ontheissues.org/TX/Lamar_Smith.htm#TechnologyNot a great picture. Voted against network neutrality, sponsored SOPA, although he did vote against taxing Internet access. [–] mtgx 13y ago ↗ From all that I gather that the principle by which he votes is aiding his corporate friends. That's probably the most common trait with his voting record, and I doubt it has anything to do with any real beliefs of how politics should work.
