Full Version: Criminalizing the Antiwar Movement
Interesting. And it's been around for a little while now too.
But to be fair, the actual text says that it only applies to people who are deemed "to have committed, or to pose a significant risk of committing, an act or acts of violence..." or people who were involved with such individuals (I'm assuming this means "knowingly involved").
In any case though, that is still disturbing. Can executive orders be challenged on constitutional grounds?

Yeah I noticed the same thing in that article. The article completely misses that part of the order. I don't know if I agree:unsure:disagree with it. I always hate the vague statements in such orders that could change someone's life significantly, "or to pose" in this situation.
As for challenging it...congress can challenge it. Wikipedia shows two orders in the past being overturned. Also, interesting tidbit...President can issue the order, but can not enforce it.
