Oh don't worry folks, it only applies to "terrorists and other bad actors".

God how terrifying, luckily its just 3 arch republicans proposing it, Graham, Cotton, Blackburn.

God knows though during the next national security crises all democrats will be onboard.

Not if Pelosi leaves/is supplanted, which I think could happen in the next congress. She's the major Dem arm-twister on intelligence issues; there are several others who are likeminded, but she's the power center.

And a lot of the younger Dems are far less impressed with the intelligence/natsec boogie-man presentations and more aware of privacy/security issues.
