it will never pass in that form, just like the dmca it will be balanced (in fact given the abuses from the DMCA - like trying to do an end round around back up rights using the anti circumventation clause) it probably going to end up being weaker thent he DMCA.
I doubt most consumers will know what it is about and how it effects them personally. Old people vote so I doubt there will be any huge groundswell.

It would be hard to be weaker then DMCA.
