Realistic more like. Half of the petitions are dumb, so they're already conditioned to ignore them. And this one is literally something that just happened. No way they're repealing it immediately.

Best case they roll back some stuff in like 10 years. I read a BBC article about it though and in the "criticism of the act" section they only had quotes from people saying it doesn't go far enough! So I wouldn't hold your breath.
