House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., hopes if Republicans take control of the Senate following the November midterm elections “it will accelerate the agenda” for House Judiciary, he said during an episode of C-SPAN’s Newsmakers that was shown over the weekend (http://cs.pn/1riNhpm). He tallied the hundreds of bills passed by the House that have not been addressed in the Senate, “including some pretty important ones, like patent litigation reform and the [National Security Agency/Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act] Court reform,” he said. “Top on my list would be to do the patent litigation reform and the NSA FISA Court reform because those have already passed the House in a very bipartisan way. ... These are opportunities, I think, that we shouldn’t miss.”
