SOPA
Just read this post on /b/, made me lose hope in SOPA not passing because it is true. This is the post from memory;
The two things politicians are too scared to support are child pornography and terrorism. No one in the twenty first century wants to labelled a pedophile by the media or anyone. SOPA/PIPA is going to pass because (and the US government has done this before) they will add the legislation onto the end of the Protecting children against online pornography act, and no politician (not even Ron Paul) is balsy enough to say he doesn't support the Child Pornography act.
tl;dr they'll just add SOPA/PIPA legislation onto the Anti-child pornography act and no one will appose it because they are afraid of being labelled a pedophile.
