The AGW inquisition is getting into full gear now. The anointed priests of the cult now want to use RICO to prosecute anyone who disputes their scam. These people go around calling themselves "liberal" and "tolerant." Hilarious, isn't it?
Sen. Whitehouse: Bring RICO Charges Against Climate Wrongthink
By Walter Olson on 6.5.15

Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) urges the U.S. Department of Justice to consider filing a racketeering suit against the oil and coal industries for having promoted wrongful thinking on climate change, with the activities of “conservative policy” groups an apparent target of the investigation as well. A trial balloon, or perhaps an effort to prepare the ground for enforcement actions already afoot?
