Need to dig on this MSNBC story. It is about the coast guard guy they caught who wanted to kill Democrats and journalists. The timing stinks to high heaven.

That is exactly what I am afraid of. I did not see anything in the article where actually did anything illegal. They just added up their suspicions and popped him. They start with something, made up or not, that is outrageous so everybody accepts the new law, then quietly start using it the way they intended after everyone has moved on.
