I know the RICO statutes better than you, and have read EVERY US Supreme Court decision involving RICO.

The simple fact is a doctor writing a phoney doctor’s excuse is not a RICO predicate act. Further more, even if it was, how does it meet the “affecting interstate commerce” element of a RICO violation?

According to US Congress' standards on interstate commerce: Giving away free physicians medical excuses will affect physicians in other states where some of the protesters were bused in from.
