Writing in the Washington Post, Sheldon Whitehouse, a Democratic Senator from Rhode Island, offered a curious suggestion for dealing with global warming skeptics - apply RICO laws and prosecute them.
So did I and so was I.
I’m right here.
Global Warming is not real, is a scam intended to empower socialists by stealing more of your money for them.
In order for the RICO Act to apply, there must be an "ongoing criminal organization".
In order to be an "ongoing criminal organization", there must first BE an "organization". Then, there must be evidence of ongoing criminal activity.
As of right now, today, it is not illegal to question the "settled science" of climate change.
A MUCH better case can be made for prosecuting the country's two major political parties under the RICO Act.
Yep, the government Ponzi Scheme at the top.
First of all...Sheldon Whitehouse is a moron. He has proved it many times over the years. Usually, by simply opening his mouth.
Ah men to that.
And second everybody in RI votes D because everybody in RI has a family member sucking at the governmental teat. Wouldn’t want to vote uncle Charlie out of his no-show job would ya?
This facist needs to be 6 feet underground.
Congress is an Organized Criminal Conspiracy.
They seem to think if everybody would just believe in global warming then the earth would begin to cool. Nobody has to do anything except believe.
Well, when the democrats controlled the house, senate, and presidency, they still didn’t implement any plan to deal with their fake global warming.

We need to prosecute nature since it disagrees with climate models.
Oh, they'll come up with one... "Defying authority in national crisis."
Sheldon Whitehouse, a Democratic Senator from Rhode Island, should be hanged for this attack on the First Amendment.
shouldn’t it be THE OTHER WAY AROUND...???????
If anyone needs some RICO prosecutions, it is those people who are colluding in producing propaganda and faking data to push a false crises of man-caused global warming.
An extremely tight case could be made to bring a RICO case against the Democrat party at all levels. Along with that we could also include the RINO GOPe.
Hey, let’s RICO socialists!
RICO requires that the offenders commit to “predicate offenses” from this list, at different times and places, and socialists definitely qualify.
Nonsense. Nothing could be further from the truth. Tyranny? Pish-tosh. There's no tyranny. You're just paranoid.
I know this for a fact, because Obama himself has told us to reject the voices of those who warn of tyranny.
I could be in real trouble, cause I also think Obama was born in Kenya and is a closet muslim.
Prepared.
But keep buying ammo
Sheldon Whitehouse is a Constitution skeptic. What’s the constitutional remedy to deal with this tyrant?
