Did you guys actually bother to read the bill?

Here is the operative language:

“(a) In general.—Whoever, whether or not acting under color of law, while in disguise, including while wearing a mask, injures, oppresses, threatens, or intimidates any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or because of his having so exercised the same, shall be fined under this title, imprisoned not more than 15 years, or both.

That said, it's a ridiculous bill. A fifteen year prison sentence for what amounts to a common assault charge, while wearing a hockey mask. Plus, with language like that, it has the capability of being used in a far broader scope than going after anti-facists.

Doesn't this resolution have a major due process problem with vagueness? What exactly is included in "injures, oppresses, threatens or intimidates," particularly that which would result in a 15-year imprisonment.

Simply assaulting/battering people is still a crime, right?

It would certainly seem to.

Also some polling has Cruz with only a 2 point lead in his race.

McCready is part of Seth Moultons group of veterans he is helping organize to run for office.

I don't know the details of each of the districts, but if I were a republican, I'd not be too excited about running against anyone from this group.

U.S. Rep. Vern Buchanan is drawing criticism for purchasing an expensive yacht on the same day he voted in favor of a major tax cut package that could save him a substantial amount of money.

A recent financial disclosure form shows Buchanan, R-Longboat Key, bought an Ocean Alexander yacht last year on Nov. 16. The boat cost between $1 million and $5 million according to the form.

That same day the GOP-controlled House pushed through a major tax cut that critics deride as disproportionately benefiting wealthy individuals such as Buchanan, whose minimum net worth the Associated Press recently estimated at $80 million.

This hearing is going to end in fisticuffs.

They are motioning this testimony to death. Preplanned and so far, well-executed.
