"I believe the same Senators are trying to go after Tor as well ... Remember when Congress tried to get encryption banned (or hobbled) too, once they realized that people other than the government could use it?"
The difference is that encryption is critically important for much of the internet's infrastructure, while Tor isn't.
So they couldn't eliminate the use of encryption without crippling the internet, while getting rid of Tor wouldn't have much of an effect on the internet at all.
