But like a belief in Santa Claus, passage of this bill is a pleasant (t'were pretty if t'were so) fantasy. 

There is no evidence for any type of groundswell for reversing the excesses of the Leahy-Smith America Invents Act, and Senator Leahy is still serving in the Senate, is Chair of the Intellectual Property Subcommittee of the Senate Judiciary Committee, and a vocal supporter of his handiwork (see "Statement of Senator Patrick Leahy, Chair, Intellectual Property Subcommittee, on the Supreme Court's Decision in Arthrex"). 

Whatever analogy you prefer (snowballs in hell, camels passing through the eye of a needle), it is hard to see this decidedly non-bipartisan bill being anything other than a feel-good present from these Representatives to those members of the patent community who abhor the consequences of the AIA's enactment.
