It has to get past the House, then the Senate, and then Obama. If it seriously gets passed that point, I wouldn't be surprised to see it end up in the Supreme Court.

If they take away torrents I will say to take away the currency because right now like 85% people are poor and the the others are rich which isnt fair.

SC and Leg? I presume you mean Supreme Court and Legislature? In which case no, the Supreme Court is not involved in creating law.
If the President vetoes a bill it returns to the House and Senate where it must obtain a 2/3 majority in each to become law.

They can't "take away torrents". A torrent is just another way of downloading a file.
They happen to be commonly used for piracy, but that doesn't make them wrong or illegal in any way.

I forgot about that part.

Torrents are to piracy as guns are to murder.
The person does the crime not the tool.

Guns don't kill people, people kill people.

That'd be like saying, "OGM CAR CRASH KILLED 5 PEOPLE BAN CARS"
