House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) said the controversial Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) lacks consensus and needs more work before it reaches the House floor for a vote.
"Listen, this bill is in committee," Speaker Boehner said. "It’s had a number of hearings. It went through a markup, and it’s pretty clear to many of us that there’s a lack of consensus at this point. And I would expect the committee to continue its work to try to build a consensus before this bill moves."
