Something happened behind the scenes we are not privy too.

Cruz knows words have meanings. Sitting here listening to the Clay & Buck show as well and the caterwauling about these people being detained so long without bail or trial dates.

Check the language they use regarding these people and the ones they plan to round-up.

Terrorist

It is really, really important to understand what they are signaling.

Section 802 of the USA PATRIOT Act (Pub. L. No. 107-52) expanded the definition of terrorism to cover “”domestic,”” as opposed to international, terrorism. A person engages in domestic terrorism if they do an act “dangerous to human life” that is a violation of the criminal laws of a state or the United States, if the act appears to be intended to: (i) intimidate or coerce a civilian population; (ii) influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or (iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination or kidnapping.

Now somewhere in the back of my mind...I seem to recall they can “detain” these “terrorists” as long as they feel they need too. I am thinking that little nugget was in the NDAA a few years back and likely still there. We old FReepers made a fuss about it at the time.

Right now these people or the few that have been charged so fair got slaps on their hands. Did Ted Cruz use terrorist and believe it or was he signaling how the next round of arresting charges were going to be prosecuted? Did he find himself on the receiving end of a threat of “domestic terrorism” charges?
