New DNS vulnerability: political overreach

[Kevin Tillery via NANOG <nanog () lists nanog org>]

A Texas court has suspended the .com domain of a Dutch porn site which doesn't have any business presence in Texas, 
because it doesn't comply with Texas rules about porn (which are extremely onerous):

Clearly the US is not fit to manage top-level domains (other than .us of course) even though it ended up with them by 
historical accident. It worked for a while but now it's not working any more. Has anyone come up with any plan to solve 
this and make the DNS more neutral?

As a first step I'd think about experimenting with a DNS resolver that would move all US TLDs to subdomains of .us. 
However that obviously would just break the current internet for whoever is using this resolver, at least due to 
widespread use of vhosts.
