Maybe a secret committee to take away the first amendment rights of journalist who step over the line too... No court, no jury... just a committee.

How would the butt kissers at the New York Times feel about that? Casey Harper - do a follow up and see how the editors feel about that one...

“The piece is written by Adam Winkler, a U.C.L.A. School of Law professor.”

This is where someone should patiently wait for him outside his office and take a bat to him. Then ask him if they should outlaw baseball.

Or, more to the point, and probably more effective, why not just ban the preaching and publication of fundamentalist Islamic ideas? If it is necessary to suspend fundamental liberties, it would be much easier to just have a secret court decide if a publication or a particular mosque was disseminating dangerous ideas likely to lead to Islamic extremism. That would end radicalization, so we wouldn't, in theory at least, need to worry about preventing gun attacks, bombings, arson, knife attacks, airplane hijacking or jihad by car.

In fact the process could be even simpler than trying to stop gun sales one at a time, and less intrusive and tailored to the problem. For Muslims not involved or interested in extremist points of view there would be no burden at all, except perhaps for some travel restrictions to avoid people attending prohibited talks overseas, or reading prohibited materials.

I am sure what I proposed is something the NYTimes and all of their liberal supporters would consider unthinkable. And that of course shows their true desires and beliefs. They just want to disarm and control the population. Unlike the rest of us who actually believe in the Bill of Rights.
