Senators Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Bill Cassidy, M.D. (R-LA) introduced a resolution Thursday that would label Antifa a “domestic terrorist organization.”

“Whereas members of Antifa, because they believe that free speech is equivalent to violence, have used threats of violence in the pursuit of suppressing opposing political ideologies,” the resolution states.

The resolution continues....:

[equaviator]

I concur!

[chief lee runamok]

Expectations of a quick death for this legislation run rampant.

[MuttTheHoople]

Just enforce the Klan anti-masking laws

[SaxxonWoods]

Expose the weaklings, let’s go.

[Grampa Dave]

About time and 2 years too late!

Will the dems in the house vote no?

If so they might as well forget about the elections next year!

[Retvet]

About time!

However, there is currently no crime labeled “domestic terrorism” but the designation does allow law enforcement to investigate a suspect’s associates and affiliations, the Hill reports. Critics argue that since Antifa does not have a formal organizational structure, labeling a group “domestic terrorists” could be the beginning of “overly broad” enforcement. “It is dangerous and overly broad to use labels that are disconnected [from] actual individual conduct,” said Hina Shamsi, director of the national security project at the American Civil Liberties Union. “And as we’ve seen how ‘terrorism’ has been used already in this country, any such scheme raises significant due process, equal protection and First Amendment constitutional concerns.” Shamsi concluded.

Maybe they should change the oath of office and take out the domestic enemies part, since they have 1st Amendment rights to terrorize. Insanity!

This bill is DOA.

[butlerweave]

Any word from The Commie Squad yet ,LOL

[dsrtsage]

“This bill is DOA”

perhaps, but now we can make commercials showing at first all of the violence, then every single house member voting against it

[rockinqsranch]

Means nothing unless the House initiates it. The Senate can approve it, but have to send it to the House for them to use for a seat cushion.

"Critics argue that since Antifa does not have a formal organizational structure, labeling a group “domestic terrorists” could be the beginning of “overly broad” enforcement."

Simply having an open season for anyone wearing typical antifa clothes, masks, carrying a club, and throwing objects would quickly solve antifa violence in a not "overly broad" manner.

[RArtfulogerDodger]

You broke the code :)

[RArtfulogerDodger]

Yes, it could be.

[Pollard]

since Antifa does not have a formal organizational structure

They have chapters for different regions. They have a logo. They even have uniforms of sorts. They tale over Portland and direct traffic.

Sounds kinda organized to me

[RArtfulogerDodger]

I concur.

Only MORE.

[Blue Highway]

What took so long for the Republicans to do this? Should have introduced this resolution 3 years ago.

[RArtfulogerDodger]

That funneh :) Good one.
