Removed racist comment, and I do agree that the American political institutions sometimes don't really work well, or do what the people want them to. The main reason that SOPA is passing is because all of the "special interest groups" are essentially bribing congressmen and senators to support the bill. Some are getting bribed to oppose it as well, but the majority of the money is on the supporting side, hence why it is passing.
