    Fwiw, the President can’t just “declare” that a group is a domestic terrorist organization. That’s a violation of the Fifth Amendment.

    We’ve been able to get away with declaring foreign groups as terrorist organizations because they’re not based in America so the government can claim the Constitution doesn’t apply to them.

    Of course, we all also know this won’t stop Trump…

      It’s never stopped the HF Ideology.

      Right now it’s anti-fascists. It used to be Islam. Before that it was hippies. Before that it was commies. Before that it was Native Americans.

      Then you kind of split at the Mason-Dixon line. In the south it was Abolitionists.

      Right. As if Trump cares about the constitution. He’s done many unconstitutional things already, and he will continue to do so.
