I don't see how a law like this can pass Constitutional muster. Our government does not have the right to regulate my activities on foreign soil. Our laws end at our borders.
It's not regulating acts on foreign soil. It's trying to regulate the act of conspiracy if it occurs 'within the US', regardless of where the acts being conspired would occur.
Dumb idea, will never pass.
You should pay more attention to federal laws. Not only will it pass, it will get signed, and, when challenged, it will hold up in court.
I wouldn't be too sure about that.
Anyway, the main contention of most people in this thread is that the proposed law would actually regulate activity on foreign soil. It doesn't. It regulates the act of conspiracy, when it takes place on US soil, even if the acts being conspired would take place on foreign soil.
