I suspect this is PRECISELY what is happening. That is what I was thinking when I posted right above, here. Unfortunatey, constant attempts by Governments to extend their reach is often articulated in small steps across decades. If you look at both EU and US history, it seems to me there's a pattern there. I'd be much happier if this was the time when a principle is established and, as much as reasonably possible, set in stone. The public opinion backlash would help A LOT in that regard, and I am not sure that will be there next time, when they try again.
