There are only a few hundred people in Congress. Even if all of them were partaking this still wouldn't be a societal impact level issue.

  Your comment seemed to imply that a network of pedophiles in Congress was tailoring these laws specifically to weaken law enforcement's ability to prosecute people like them. That would certainly lead to a societal impact, as it would by design empower and entrench child pornographers and pedophiles across the board.
