It's disappointing.

He supports shelving the bill, but he says this:

Frankly, there is a lot of misinformation floating around out there: If this bill really could do some of the things people have heard it would do (like shutting down Wikipedia or YouTube), I'd never support it. But even so, I believe we need to seriously consider the many concerns that constituents have shared.

So, Senator Franken, I would assume the EFF and the ACLU are wrong about what this bill can do?
