Prrreeetty concerning. Obviously there is no Antifa as an organization and but I would be cautious to call this meaningless. Seems more likely they will use this to slap domestic terrorism charges or conspiracy charges on anyone who is organizing against incipient fascism fascism in progress in this country. Stay safe out there, hopefully this won’t affect me because I am a center-left Democrat.
I do like that they list anti-fascism as obstructing ICE and law enforcement, which means that those groups are … hmm I’m drawing a blank here.
GOP SCOTUS could create some bizarro world ruling to keep themselves and Trump happy. They don’t give a fuck how nonsensical or hypocritical their actions are.
The federalist society has a different bizzaro world to Trumps. Also their entire job is rationalizing their agenda so it doesn’t seem hypocritical, that’s their primary function.
If I remember correctly in Trump 2.0 - Trump sent 20 executive orders to GOP SCOTUS. He won 18 of them. And he won the last 15 in a row. I have no idea what the Federalist Society (and individual members) have said publicly. But I think he façade probably fell away.
But its given the designation “foreign terrorist organization” which seems like it wouldn’t get past the federalists in scotus.
It doesn’t matter. The point of categorizing people as terrorists is so they are assumed to be inherently dangerous. It is so you can just shoot them or stick them in a back site torture dungeon. You don’t have standing to appeal their definition of terrorism if you’re dead or being fed fish skeletons at the bottom of the oubliette.
That’s for foreign terrorists not domestic terrorists. Domestic terrorists still™ get trials. Mangione was charged with terrorism and it just got dropped.
I mean its going to take two years minimum before anything sees scotus and they’re going to get their damage done in that time.

Think it’s more meaningful it’s not an org. They’re targetting antifascism as an ideology

scotus doesn’t give a fuck anymore
I forget exactly how it played out, but courts blocked this during Trump’s first term
lol
I’m a fiscal conservative centrist libertarian.
But really, I agree that this is not insignificant.
