Taking No Comfort in Protestations of Consensus

InstaPundit links to an article in The Hill with a headline reading SOPA shelved until ‘consensus’ is found, and posts this quote from the article.

House Oversight Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) said early Saturday morning that Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) promised him the House will not vote on the controversial Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) unless there is consensus on the bill.

I take no comfort from this news, because I highly doubt that members of Congress have all of a sudden elevated their moral integrity, or their ability to rigourously analyze.  Recall the “consensus” on climate warming?
