This will probably eventually by TORs undoing. Eventually there will be a major media event and there will be people beating the drums for action. By definition many of the people with legitimate uses of TOR will not be able to say anything since doing so publicly would defeat the purpose. And the TOR network may still exist after congress eventually passes legislation or a federal agency suddenly discovers its right to regulate TOR deep in its charter. But the organization would be gone and distributing/using TOR in the US could be a crime. The most useful thing in keeping TOR alive would be for the community to continue to show how important something like SecureDrop is in the face of global electronic surveillance. That way any attack on TOR is an attack on free speech. All the comments on how the lawyer is so stupid and doesn't understand technology misses that the people that may ultimately decide the fate of TOR also probably don't understand technology.
