What are you talking about?because it gives the govt extra powers that eliminates American's First Amendment and other rights like the right to privacy from our govt.....FISA can now be used LEGALLY against them... Every tool that democrats used against Trump can now be used against the ANTIFA group. Just how many Democrats will be tied up in the trip down the rabbit hole...?I hope this means that they will be hunted down now and rooted out.
The sad thing is going to watch the liberal radicals stand up and justify why ANTIFA should not be monitored. Protecting a group that calls itself anti-fascists yet beats up journalists and infringes on old people’s rights to cross the street in the US. How is that not fascist?
And once the govt decides that is A-OK and claim it is constitutional, then you might as well rip up our constitutional bill of rights, this second..... every American group like the Proud Boys, or KKK, or Hells Angels, or Joe SCHMO American citizen group can be labeled a terrorist group via presidential tweet.... with no process for the group, bad or good, to fight for their constitutional rights....
labeling groups terrorists, allows the govt to wire tap, 24 hour surveillance etc etc etc like they were foreigners.... without probable cause of a crime being committed.....
I might be for this..... I dunno yet.... but maybe IF THERE WAS A PROCESS that could be used, where all of these groups are being treated fairly and given a chance to object to being labeled as such, and a chance to fight for their constitutional rights..... but I dunno.....
I can see total abuse by our govt as the slippery slope....
Taking away ANTIFA’s “right” to beat reporters, obstruct people from crossing the street, and smashing windows of private property is an abridgment of The First Amendment??
Those are ALL illegal already... ? Why would you need an organization declared a terrorist for that???
What does this ''designating them a terrorist organization'' mean to you? What do you think it legally does or changes?
Of course the legality and whether the President has the power to do that is going to be debated and more than likely, they will not be legally declared a terrorist organization by the President. But, for me, and many Americans, they need to be exposed for the reasons I sited in my previous post. Beating journalists, obstructing people from walking a public street, destroying private property, .... all illegal yet all ignored. The President called them out for what they are.
