So, this is basically legislation that supposedly legally requires web browsers to include government root certificates. Classy.

How does this even work with open source software? If I distribute a patchset to Firefox to make it not trust the government certificates, would I be breaking the law? The implications of this sort of law seem to me to run quite a bit deeper than just "oh no MITM bad".
