Galileo was convicted of heresy... some people are so afraid of dissent they must silence the opposition. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

RICO law is outrageous and most parts of it are unConstitutional. Not only are the statutes overly broad and vague, but for those charged with crimes they cannot divulge information with their own attorneys in most cases - disrupting the ability to know their accusers and get a fair trial.

Prosecute this: NOAA caught spiking climate changer data.

One should always be skeptical when a scientific "finding" supports a political agenda. To the "progressive" true believer it makes no difference if AGW is real or not. It is a powerful political tool because it incites fear.

I just read that 0's trade agreement includes global warming crap. It just isn't going to go away no matter how bad the weather gets over the next 10 years. when we no longer have much of a summer and we can't grow enough food to feed the country these idiots will still be blaming the cold conditions on global warming.

Thus proving that true, irrational fanatics/true believers will stop at nothing to silence their critics. Why waste court time? Why not just burn them at the stake, or stone them to death in the public square? (RICO is a slightly more convoluted way of doing just that, of course.)

The Senator should be burned at the stake. Next someone will want to burn at the stake anyone that doesn't believe in God, or maybe anyone that does believe in God. Where can I move to where all this idiocy is not taking place? Can I find the Gulch on Google Maps?

Will they take the same approach to those that claim fracking damages the water supply, or that gmo corn is unsafe, or that vaccines cause autism?

And now they change the data.

In the past, I have held to the view that government should be limited to national defense and the legal system, only. I am now of the opinion that government has no legitimate business in the legal system and coming to a conclusion that it may not add much benefit to the national defense, either.

This shows what an ignoramus this clown is! The RICO law is used to prove a criminal conspiracy. It is also appropriate when defending the Constitution such as in the 2nd Amendment case whereas a "wheel of conspiracy" exists between legislators, law enforcement and the judiciary (in some instances).

The individual for instance, by being denied the right to carry (in NJ for example) is turned down after a valid application is submitted and is turned down with basically a simple "you don't have a need for it" response.

The wheel of a conspiracy is basically denying a person their Constitutional right to carry a firearm. The conspiracy is between the legislative (passing laws that infringe), certain governors (Chris Christie in NJ) who sign this extra-constitutional legislation, law enforcement that rejects the applications without cause (and as in NJ, without showing the applicants what the criteria is). This is a conspiracy to deprive a person of their Constitutional rights.

As such, the wheel of conspiracy can be demonstrated and redress should be available. The circuit court (3rd) could also be named in such a conspiracy because it out of hand rules without legal groundwork against the innocent individual hence ripe for a real RICO lawsuit.

Senator Sheldon in addition to being an idiot is also totally ignorant as to what the RICO law actually hence the stupid statement from an ill-informed legislator (so what else is new?).
