The Southern Poverty Law Center was of signal importance in terminating the life of the KKK and America in its last incarnation.

So, you’re saying it terminated America as well?

Was this enacted when Bobby Kennedy was Attorney General?

As a Conservative, I must review your material. I wish I had an “acute mind” to apply to this material but I will do my best and get back with you.

Thanks.

Sorry, put the blame on Dragon NaturallySpeaking software which confused the word "in" with the word "and."

I don't know whom to blame for the failure of proofreading.

From Wiki:

Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, commonly referred to as the RICO Act or simply RICO, is a United States federal law that provides for extended criminal penalties and a civil cause of action for acts performed as part of an ongoing criminal organization. The RICO Act focuses specifically on racketeering, and it allows the leaders of a syndicate to be tried for the crimes which they ordered others to do or assisted them, closing a perceived loophole that allowed someone who told a man to, for example, murder, to be exempt from the trial because he did not actually commit the crime personally.

RICO was enacted by section 901(a) of the Organized Crime Control Act of 1970 (Pub.L. 91–452, 84 Stat. 922, enacted October 15, 1970). RICO is codified as Chapter 96 of Title 18 of the United States Code, 18 U.S.C. § 1961–1968. While its original use in the 1970s was to prosecute the Mafia as well as others who were actively engaged in organized crime, its later application has been more widespread..
