Sorry, I mean "now Energy Secretary" for Abraham.  Still
thinking of him as a really bad Senator.

Actually, Rogan was also a member of the House Judiciary
Committee, including taking a leading role in the Internet
and Intellectual Property Subcommittee.

He and Spence Abraham (now Senator) were the pair that
spearheaded the 1999 "Cybersquatting Act" through Congress.

I don't know Rogan personally, and I'm not commenting on his
ability and acumen.  But it is probably not accurate to
portray him as merely naive, and in the thrall of people
with a political agenda he does not share.  He may not be
able to explain WHY he shares their agenda (Chasser probably
cannot account for her agenda either, in any persuasive way)
. . . but Rogan doubtless shares it.
