    Agreed, I’m pretty certain some right wingers don’t want random people snooping around their private stuff as well.

    And most people are unwilling to fight due to this being covered up, with the likes of save the children, or combating the terrorists.

      Once it passes, whether it be this year or 10 years from now, people are just going to have to decide to break the law. If everybody breaks the law and there’s basically no possibility of enforcement, then the law doesn’t matter.

        That is not entirely accurate. Those laws will be selectively enforced against you in particular, cause they don’t like you. This is a very common tactic in less civilized places. Have rules that no one is following and you have something to hold against your citizens when it suits you. So it does indeed matter.
