Bipartisan Support for Domestic Terror Laws; Civil Rights Groups Oppose

[Daily Caller] A bipartisan group of lawmakers came out in support of new domestic terror laws this week, despite earlier opposition from over 150 civil rights groups that were concerned about the implications for minority communities.
Well, conservative Christians - that's a minority group, right?
Experts said domestic terrorist groups could pose a continuing threat after the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, leading to a bipartisan majority of the House Homeland Security Committee to agree on considering new laws to address potentially harmful groups, The Washington Post reported Thursday.
Fortunately, one need not actually visit their website.
But 156 civil rights groups, including the NAACP, the Human Rights Campaign and the Council on American-Islamic Relations, had sent a letter to Congress on Jan. 19 describing concern about expanding legal authority related to terrorism.

"We must meet the challenge of addressing white nationalist and far-right militia violence without causing further harm to communities already disproportionately impacted by the criminal-legal system," the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights wrote.
So there you are - it is still acceptable to target some minority groups.

#1 But the Democrats want Oath Keepers and Proud Boys to be treated like ISIS and Al Qaeda, while the Republicans want it to be the Muslim Brotherhood front groups like CAIR and the Muslim Student Association, Antifa/BLM and the rest of the anarcho-communist Black Bloc network. So this is a political ploy on all sides that will only harm conservatives unless the Republicans play it very, very carefully.
