I'm not so sure ACTA will get ratified; a couple of Senators are really upset that they can't get access to the full text of the treaty and see it as a literal pig in a poke.

Besides that, if ACTA does get ratified with all this secrecy, it would really throw a monkeywrench into US jurisprudence. We can't just haul people into court, and have the prosecution tell the judge, "Your honor, this person has violated a Secret Law, and while neither you nor the defendant are allowed to know what the law says or how they violated it, we assure you they've violated it and need (insert sentence here)." There isn't a jury that would buy it, and most judges would throw it out of court anyway.
