On the horizon for Patriot Act II

[bascule]

From the ACLU:

In the House of Representatives, legislation has already been introduced that would:

• Allow the government to seize records and compel testimony in terrorism cases without prior review by a court or grand jury.
  
• Allow the government to deny bail, without proving danger or flight risk, for a laundry list of federal crimes said to be terrorism-related.
  
• Expand use of the death penalty for crimes of "domestic terrorism" as defined by the PATRIOT Act - a definition so broad that it could cover acts of civil disobedience by protest groups.

Expand use of the death penalty for crimes of "domestic terrorism" as defined by the PATRIOT Act - a definition so broad that it could cover acts of civil disobedience by protest groups.

The government will have an easy way to dispose of things it doesn't like now. If the government was to actually use this in a case though, I can't imagine the protest that they would get.

Of course you can't... It was just a figment of your imagination.
It "The protest" never took place... All persons assoiated with the
protest, and all those who saw it would be rounded, up and sent
to a "Combatent of war" camp.. Prob. In Nevada..
