No, it *can* pass. It *might* eventually be declared unconstitutional.
Remember, they keep passing anti-porn measures (mostly *supposedly* aimed at child pornography) that anyone with a brain could tell would be thrown out by the Supreme Court.
And eventually they were. But in the meantime, if folks like the adult entertainment groups hadn't been able to get injunctions passed, the law was in force.
Unfortunately, nothing prevents Congress from passing laws that are unconstitutional. So they keep doing shit like this.
