New ‘Antilynching' Federal Law Could Let Prosecutors Imprison You For A Crime You Never Committed
2022-04-06
[Federalist] Touted as an overdue (if duplicative) law that no one could disagree with, the Emmett Till Antilynching Act signed by President Biden last week includes a subtle provision that could boost the Biden administration’s war on wrongthink.

The bill sailed through the U.S. Senate and the House with ease. The tactful naming made the bill radioactive to oppose, which is why 422 congressmen voted in favor while only three opposed.

Rep. Thomas Massie, one of the three who voted against the bill, expressed a handful of concerns, including that there are a limited number of constitutionally specified federal crimes, that lynching is already criminalized, and that "Adding enhanced penalties for ’hate’ [on top of existing criminal punishments] tends to endanger other liberties such as freedom of speech."

#4  This can be a two edged sword which can be used against BLM and Antifa. Not that Garland would ever do anything to upset his heros.

#3  Young Emmett was dancin' with devils
That day at the store, on two levels:
A lyin' white whore
As he ducked out the door...
And his poor father's murderous revels.
