Also, citing Ars Technica’s article http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20080926-ip-bill-passes-senate-no-civil-enforcement-power-for-doj.html –
“The Bush administration had also objected to a provision that remains in the bill, creating an IP “czar” within the White House to coordinate IP enforcement efforts.”

Here is the press release by Sen Leahy (D-Vt) http://leahy.senate.gov/press/200809/092608b.html notice all the sponsors and co-sponsors names.

Also, you can tell which of your Representatives voted which way at http://www.govtrack.us/congress/vote.xpd?vote=h2008-664 and Senators passed it by Unanimous Consent on Sep 26, 2008.

No one associated with this bill should get a free pass.

God I need to dig up my cards…

Wait, I have a full-time job. Nevermind…
