> From my perspective, darkness will soon descend on Washington, and I fear
how long it might be.  But there was a piece of good news today:  the bill
forbidding non-disparagement clauses in form consumer contracts became law
yesterday.

As of March 14, 2017, any form contract with a clause purporting to bar
consumers from offering their honest views about a company will become void
ab initio.

And as a DC soccer fan, I was pleased to be told that my team, DC United,
is revising the language in ITS form contract that said otherwise
