How to they plan to police the public’s thoughts? Implant a brain chip in everybody??

Probably start by expunging certain parts of the Bible.
The law only applies to people who are attackers, who do or try to attack or kill someone else.
If they use racial epithets or the like that indicate their intent, or in some other way indicate a racial motive, then this proposed law would kick in with additional mandatory penalties.
Like those guys who carjacked the two kids, killed the man, kidnapped, raped, tortured, and killed the woman- if they had said “those crackers deserved it” then this law would chime in.
This law applies to felony acts of violence against a person where the motive can be attributed to prejudice. There is no intent to monitor thought.
The hilarious part is the lengthy justification under the Commerce Clause- the feds have no jurisdiction otherwise. They have no power to interfere with the states, and no right to step into this area.
A stupid statist feelgood law that would be used by the MSM far more often than by the courts.
