Wow, Glenn Greenwald must not know anything about how due process works. We've been able to seize assets related to a criminal investigation for centuries. It's called "getting a search warrant." The problem with SOPA is that it would've allowed the shutdown of websites without a warrant (indeed, without any involvement of the criminal justice system at all; the courts would essentially take copyright holders at their word), regardless of how small the amount of infringing material is, even if there is no infringing material, just links to it.

But yes, this makes very clear that a law like SOPA is absolutely unnecessary even ignoring its chilling effects on the Internet.
