while producing no real benefit

Out of curiosity, how many Congress-critters would have to recant before you would concede 'real benefit'?

Orrin Hatch has apparently recanted (edit: "not ready for prime time"), though for some reason I find it hard to assume good faith.

Hatch has a long history, it is true... No doubt his recanting is purely tactical, like the rescheduling of SOPA was. ('not ready for prime time' kind of implies that he would like it to come back when it is ready.)
