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.

Okay, yeah, that's a fair point.

problem is getting everyone to do revolution at the same time. That's one of the purposes of mass surveillance, they can detect the early beginnings of organization and send them to prison before it grows into a big snowball.
