New "Domestic Terrorism Division"
Curbing of the rights of innocent people
You can't make this stuff up. The very same Administration that refuses to call out terrorist acts perpetrated by Muslims or to even utter the word terrorism when referring to ISIS or ISIL has created a "Domestic Terrorism Division" within the Department of Justice.
In and of itself that might not be a big deal unless you remember that this is the same DOJ who, along with the Department of Homeland Security, labeled Libertarians, Conservatives, flag flyers, bumper sticker users, and gun advocates as domestic extremists.
Do we really need another Department to fund and keep an eye on? Furthermore, could this not lead to abuse and the curbing of the rights of innocent people simply because they oppose government policies or because their beliefs are not in lockstep with the Federal Government?
Would those be intended or unintended consequences? Does it really matter?
