I’m right here.

Global Warming is not real, is a scam intended to empower socialists by stealing more of your money for them.

What criminal statute(s) is/are "global warming skeptics" breaking?

In order for the RICO Act to apply, there must be an "ongoing criminal organization".

In order to be an "ongoing criminal organization", there must first BE an "organization". Then, there must be evidence of ongoing criminal activity.

As of right now, today, it is not illegal to question the "settled science" of climate change.

A MUCH better case can be made for prosecuting the country's two major political parties under the RICO Act.

First of all...Sheldon Whitehouse is a moron. He has proved it many times over the years. Usually, by simply opening his mouth.

Ah men to that.

And second everybody in RI votes D because everybody in RI has a family member sucking at the governmental teat. Wouldn’t want to vote uncle Charlie out of his no-show job would ya?

They seem to think if everybody would just believe in global warming then the earth would begin to cool. Nobody has to do anything except believe.

Well, when the democrats controlled the house, senate, and presidency, they still didn’t implement any plan to deal with their fake global warming.

We need to prosecute nature since it disagrees with climate models.

Sheldon Whitehouse, a Democratic Senator from Rhode Island, should be hanged for this attack on the First Amendment.

Senator: Use RICO Laws to Prosecute Global Warming Skeptics

If anyone needs some RICO prosecutions, it is those people who are colluding in producing propaganda and faking data to push a false crises of man-caused global warming.

An extremely tight case could be made to bring a RICO case against the Democrat party at all levels. Along with that we could also include the RINO GOPe.

Hey, let’s RICO socialists!

RICO requires that the offenders commit to “predicate offenses” from this list, at different times and places, and socialists definitely qualify.

The slippery slope towards tyranny We have already slid a long way down hill. The more power the Left gets, the more it wants.

Nonsense. Nothing could be further from the truth. Tyranny? Pish-tosh. There's no tyranny. You're just paranoid.

I know this for a fact, because Obama himself has told us to reject the voices of those who warn of tyranny.

Sheldon Whitehouse is a Constitution skeptic. What’s the constitutional remedy to deal with this tyrant?
