How is this different in any fundamental way from a law whose intent is to prevent a Crip from being the victim of anti-Crip violence, or a woman from being the victim of anti-woman violence, or a well-dressed-white-guy walking down the street from being the victim of anti-well-dressed-white-guys violence?

I tend to agree with taxtruth several posts down - this has all the hallmarks of organized crime protecting their own with their own special brand of “justice”. That's why this caught my eye in the news reports in the first place. I can't believe this is what the Founding Fathers had in mind.

Will the proposed law or amendment I've heard about that would require all laws to apply equally to citizens and Congress-critters supercede this monstrosity, and will it extend throughout the Federal Class?

Americans are all represented by their government and have a vested interest in protecting its employees from anti-government violence. There are crazy people who believe that by attacking the employee they are exercising their political rights. Hence such laws.

Most of your response is not applicable to this issue and seems to be more taking an opportunity to misunderstand and rhetoricize than clarify.
