I want to see arrests, and charges under the PATRIOT ACT.

[Robb]

This is not complicated. Re-read the Patriot Act. Any number of subsections would apply to those currently making threats against lawmakers.

Sauce for the goose.

[Ian David]

1. And Republicans would want them to get military trials without habeus corpus. n/t

[trotsky]

2. Undo that order closing Gitmo! n/t

[gkhouston]

4. Or actually use that prison we bought. n/t

[Robb]

15. Ironically

...rounding them up to put them in it is among their paranoid fantasies. :D

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

3. Chillax.

All of these cases are being thoroughly investigated.

[Robb]

5. I am quite sure they are.

I merely have an opinion as to how they should be prosecuted.

[gkhouston]

6. Hopefully, not in the same way that the repeal of DADT is being investigated. n/t

[Cetacea]

8. I won't be holding my breath.

[NAO]

9. By merely the FBI or by Department of Homeland Security? -nt

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

10. The FBI seems adequate to the job.

[Cetacea]

7. Off to the greatest.

[onehandle]

11. Not to mention some of the lawmakers themselves.

Who are encouraging these threats.



Also, reality show Facebookers.

[Lord Magus]

12. Bachmann doesn't need to be arrested.

She needs to be involuntarily committed to the nearest mental institute.

13. Don't count on the FBI to find anything prosecutable in all this. The PATRIOT Act

is specifically written for going after liberals and not conservatives. It was written BY conservatives.

[Downtown Hound]

14. They tried to do it to the RNC 8 for merely being protest organizers

Why not any of these people who are doing much more than that?

[DCKit]

16. Actual acts of terrorism? No problem... just register with the Pentagram. n/t
