First the President wants to be able to wiretap any digital communication (encrypted or not) and now Congress wants us to censor without due process. When did freedom start being such a bad thing?
July 5th, 1776.
Nope. The current constitution is part of the trend - America was more free under the Articles of Confederation (which has nothing to do with the confederacy).

This is quite tinfoilhatish, but I believe so.
But unlike an IP address based blacklist, this should be relatively easy to bypass, right? A BitTorrent like infrastructure, run purely by people for the people. Or a HTTP based DNS resolution, as long as it can be bootstrapped.
DOMESTIC DOMAINS- ... Upon receipt of such order, the domain name registrar or domain name registry shall suspend operation of, and lock, the domain name.
NONDOMESTIC DOMAINS- ... a service provider ... shall take reasonable steps that will prevent a domain name from resolving to that domain name’s Internet protocol address
a financial transaction provider ... shall take reasonable measures, as expeditiously as practical, to prevent ... its service from processing transactions for customers located within the United States based on purchases associated with the domain name its trademarks from being authorized for use on Internet sites associated with such domain name
a service that serves contextual or display advertisements to Internet sites shall take reasonable measures... to prevent its network from serving advertisements to an Internet site accessed through such domain name.

On the other hand, a free DNS from overseas should work.

Not really. If the exit Tor node is within the US you won't be able to reach the blocked domain. On the other hand, a free DNS from overseas should work.

You can configure Tor to exit from a specific set of countries, or to exclude a specific set of countries from the exit list.
Do you have a .torrc that makes Tor to exit from non-censorship countries? I would like to use it.
Alternatively, do you have a list of non-censorship countries?
NB: If you run a Tor hidden service remove it from your torrc before posting it.
