Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

      @bmaz @dangillmor But terrorism is a word with a meaning, and crimes of political violence against civilians meet the definition.

      @bmaz @dangillmor Until you take word off law books not calling white terrorism terrorism endorses unequal treatment of Muslims @Ali_Gharib

      @emptywheel @dangillmor @Ali_Gharib As always, the solution to your gripe on this is to restrict its misguided application, not expand it.

      Replying to @bmaz

      @bmaz @dangillmor @Ali_Gharib It's not actually an expansion to apply law as written. And not-enforcing it equally 14 years hasn't helped.

      @emptywheel @bmaz @dangillmor Tho I should add that I'm no expert on the legal side -- I'm talking more about the common language side.

      @Ali_Gharib @emptywheel @dangillmor Well, exactly as demonstrated in the Dylan Root case, the legal side is different than what people think

      @bmaz There's blog where this has been laid out in detail, how WMD charges don't get charged as terrorist. Read it! @Ali_Gharib @dangillmor

      @emptywheel @Ali_Gharib @dangillmor Fine with me. All these cases can be dealt with just fine without "terrorist" charges.

      @bmaz Yes. Well, in 14 years of the GWOT, your opinion has not held sway. So that's 14 years of bias in the system. @Ali_Gharib @dangillmor
