Even if the a requirement for a government mandated backdoor was passed. There are open source communities outside the US who would be glad to make an encryption without a backdoor. People would then use that.
Comey has reconsidered his initial decision and seeks redemption among his fellow agents, attorneys, prosecutors, and the rational American public for initially giving into the intimidation tactics of the Clinton Machine. The Clinton Machine is a lot darker and sinister than many of you believe. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3BUUy1C0_4g
In simplest form, the problem with software patents is that not only is the formula patented, but so it the outcome. Here is my example Company A: 10+10=20 Company B: 4*5=20 Company C: 25-5=20 Company D: 40/2=20 Company E: Sqrt(400)=20 Company F: Method of creative an output of 20. (log 16.043)^16.043=20 Companies A – E all use different values and different mathematical functions to create 20. Yet if Company F was the first to patent, then Companies A – E would be sued.
If a pharmaceutical company tried this, Method of relieving pain via oral ingestion. It would be rejected immediately. You need specific unique formulas

With a scotus ruling, you'd think these denials are easily challengable. What is it that is keeping these attorneys from challenging a Brady violation?
I think what is happening is that the supporters of the TPP were always hoping to keep it under the radar. MSNBC tried to silence Burnie Sanders when spoke against it by ceasing the broadcast. Now with Trump being against it, even if he does not seem to really understand it, people are hearing the name and Googling TPP to find out how devastating it is. With voters aware of the dangers of the TPP, former supporters are now saying they oppose it. No wonder they kept it top secret for so long. If the public got wind of the details, they would be outraged. Sure enough, the public is learning about it. Now politicians are switching sides because it they openly support the TPP, then their constituent may choose someone who does not support it.
