Homeopathic Legislation

NYT reports that the US "anti-spam" bill which legalises sending spam and abolishes US state laws that make spam illegal has had its effectiveness even more diluted before being sent for rubber stamping at the White House. It was already as weak as water so presumably this is now a homeopathic bill which is effective because the spin-doctors have said it's against spam rather than because it has clauses that address the problem.
