[–] jobes [OP] 4 points (+4|-0)

Text of one version of the bill.

Basically it classifies "white supremacists" as domestic terrorists citing a "New York Times op-ed that 'white supremacy and far-right extremism are among the greatest domestic-security threats facing the United States.'" It spawns a new "domestic terrorism" agency to investigate any "hate crime" and would reclassify "hate crimes" as domestic terrorism incidents.
