Though the SSSCA may have its choice supporters in the Senate, some in the House have voiced strong reservations about mandating copy-protection controls such as those proposed by Senator Ernest Hollings (D, SC), in consumer electronic devices. According to a Wired.com article, a spokesman for House Majority Leader Dick Armey (R, Texas) said, "Hollings's bill would mandate copy protection chips on all sorts of hardware and machines in the same way that the V-chip was mandated on television sets." In addition, US Representative Darrell Issa (R, CA) previously told Embedded Linux Journal the SSSCA is "dead on arrival in Judiciary." Issa, as a member of the Judiciary Committee and Subcommittee on Courts and Intellectual Property, has the power to make his voice heard in the House.
