Now all I need is a legit lawyer to explain it like I'm stupid all the BS reasons this doesn't apply to White Supremacist activity in general and why MAGA WS insurrectionists Jan 6th attack on US Cap aren't charged w/the above.

Although Id beg to differ (see Patriot Act; start at # 5) mid-way down under DOMESTIC TERRORISM
But I digress

Ok so I'll go with "we don't have domestic terrorism (DT) law" but we have others WS/WS affiliated group activity falls under. Does that mean we don't
11/

charge WS WP as long as there's no DT law on t/books or do we charge them constitutionally until there are?

B/c looking at existing law/constitution, sure looks like alotta WP excusing no charges b/c no DT law like that's this falls under
