Lynch: Authorities to release limited transcripts of calls with Orlando shooter

45. How silly

First, the childish "links to all your assertions."

Please. The facts stated are available to anyone who is an apt reader of this very website, and neither are they controversial, nor disputed. Silliness like that reveals you as a non-serious poster.

Second, the strawman "you are calling for what--mass surveillance of all American Muslims? Rounding them up?" that can neither be found nor even implied in my post.

There is a grave and significant group of fascists that use the religion of Islam as cover and inspiration. There is no more need to mass spy on Muslims that there was to mass spy on US citizens of German origin in WWII. What one does look at is the internet hate mongers. The radical Imans that want to murder gays, Jews, and subjugate women. Those who proclaim ISIS is a caliphate.

We did much the same in WWII with German groups --- there was an American Nazi party that was banned, various German Bund groups came under investigation, etc. A fair number were imprisoned.

Just as we have now, we had claims of "unfair" and what-we-now-call "profiling." But the SCOTUS was very clear, when there is a Declaration of War, certain things (like gatherings of Nazis in the USA during WWII) are forbidden and can be quashed.

That way, the hate groups masquerading as mosques can be closed, the agents of ISIS arrested, etc.

This was FDR's idea, btw, the original Progressive.
