I blogged about the original bill S 773 in mid-July:
http://www.cerias.purdue.edu/site/blog/post/cybersecurity_legislation/

The revised version of the bill doesn't really address the problematic  
parts very well.  In particular, I find the bit about required  
certifications to be a much more troubling problem than a national  
cyber emergency that causes the President to try to act.
