From the other thread about the Democrats introducing this. It is a resolution, an opinion, with no probability of it passing as legislation, UNLESS someone writes it as legislation.

Someone want to explain to Mr. Spencer the difference between a resolution and a bill?
This is H.R. 569

Yes, this article is very misleading. It’s a *resolution*, people, expressing an *opinion*. It doesn’t “criminalize” anything; there is no penalty clause, it doesn’t become a law even if it passes.
It’s a fine thing to be vigilant over the crazy people in Washington, but let’s “cry wolf” over things that aren’t a real threat ... yet.

Right. It was a resolution, not a change in law criminalizing anything.
Still, pathetic pandering. How about a resolution asking them to cooperate with local and federal officials rooting out (ratting out) extremists?
