This makes the cynical parts of my brain howl with laughter. Apparently problems with the law aren't real problems until they inconvenience rich white financiers!

I mean, if they end up throwing out business-method patents, I'm all for it, but it's very sad that this is yet another political problem whose legislative resolution will be completely unrelated to the merits of the issue. One would prefer a resolution where the best arguments, not the deepest pockets, win an argument.
