What is vauge about the term giving aid? That's pretty clear.
If it said "giving aid or comfort" or "otherwise associated with" there would be a problem.
"Otherwise associated" with is too broad. A prosecutor could interpret that any way he or she wanted to. It could be interpreted to mean if you rode on the same buss or stayed at the same hotel.
Kind of like article 32 in the UCMJ. That basically says "anything that is not covered by another article".
It just needs to be rewritten to be more specific.

If a prosecutor chose to apply this law in that way he would be violating other constitional laws. That does not make this law unconstitional.

constitional = constitutional
One day I'll realize that spell check is my friend.
