The "government master key" idea is silly (for a number of reasons).
Yet, it's very possible to share a copy of every user key using methods like Shamir's secret sharing - therefore requiring P out of N entities agreeing on allowing the decryption to happen.
The secrets can be shared in advance with attorneys, civil rights groups, government entities and allows a democratic-ish process around decryption.
