After historic gains last fall, Republicans now control both houses of Congress and can set the legislative agenda for the next two years.

With such a strong conservative majority in place, you would expect Republicans to pursue a pro-growth agenda designed to signal to American workers and entrepreneurs that America is now open for business.

In some cases (energy and taxes in particular), Capitol Hill has a sent a strong message that it intends to move forward with polices that will spur economic growth and job creation. In the innovation sector, however, I am stunned that some conservatives on Capitol Hill that I greatly respect are supporting legislation that would undermine our Constitution and harm American innovation in the name of supposed patent reform.
