For so many reasons, this provision of the bill is flawed. I ask my colleagues to join me in supporting the repeal of section 18, and simply ask this: Regardless of where your support lies as to the underlying bill, why are we doing something separate for financial services patents? Why are we doing something separate for the business method patents? Shouldn't all reforms affect all patents and all industries? I would argue this is an earmark and a special provision for one industry, and for so many reasons would ask for a ``yes'' vote on my amendment.
