Congress needs to pass a law immediately dealing with harsh penalties for domestic terrorism.

Define it, define its enforcement, define its penalties.

1. And watch McConnell do nothing

but choreograph the opposition... seen that movie already.

[The Wizard]

2. Beat me to it

McConnell is anti American.

3. We already have existing laws that deal with sedition, insurrection and treason. Why aren't

they being used? Why?

[Darwins_Retriever]

4. It wouldn't be applicable to the Jan 6 Insurrection

You can't change the rules after a crime. Constitution prohibits ex post facto laws.

5. Bur you may keep it from happening again. nt

6. Congress can't even get a vanilla infrastructure bill passed

That enjoys widespread public support. What in the world makes you think they could pass something way more divisive?

[Sympthsical]

7. And watch it be used against BLM and similar protests

A Republican will be in the executive again some day.

When defining domestic terrorism, one must be very careful. Whatever weapon we put in our own hands will one day be a gun in theirs.

8. Terrorism

is already illegal. What specific changes are you wanting?

[Progressive Jones]

9. I agree. The trash from Jan. 6th are being treated like petty crooks by the court.

There should be a completely separate set of laws to deal with domestic terrorism.

Something I would absolutely leave out are "sentencing guidelines", and min/max sentences. If one is involved in a domestic terror act, or plot, there should be one level of prison sentence (decades) when found guilty, with an execution option for the most egregious acts.
