Has it actually been defeated though? I'm not that well versed in what's been going on, but the last time I read about it they just said the bill had been shelved after public outcry

Shelved surely means they'll pick it up later and push it through discreetly?

When something gets shelved it pretty much means it's dead. The president even said he was against it and we are in an election year.

Chances are greater that they would hide this in another significant bill so it can get passed.

Or it will become moot when ACTA is ratified.
