[Bloomie via CFP] Domestic Terrorism Law Being Weighed by Justice Department

’CANCER’ ON U.S.
Currently, no U.S. law lets the government designate domestic extremists as terrorists or bring specific charges for domestic terrorism. That contrasts with laws to combat international terrorism, which allow the government to designate groups and bring charges for providing those groups with material support.

It’s a gap that some law enforcement and intelligence officials say should be closed.

"This is a cancer on our country," said Democratic Representative Matt Cartwright of Pennsylvania, chairman of the subcommittee. "Right-wing extremist attacks and plots have greatly outnumbered those from all other groups combined and caused more deaths as well."
