OK. We've been down this road but let's try once more. What is it about 802 that troubles you. Let's narrow it down if we can.

I did a quick search on section 802. This is apparently what civil libertarians object to about the section.

Section 802 creates a category of crime called "domestic terrorism," penalizing activities that "involve acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal laws of the United States," if the actor's intent is to "influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion."

I'm sure this has been covered before, but is there a consensus on whether the above statement is valid?
