This would give the state immense power to ban any kind of non-profit organization that they don’t agree with. Even if they don’t go after all the left-wing organizations, that threat hanging above their heads would seriously limit the scope of their mission and most would probably be forced to remain very small and unnoticed. Obviously this violates the 1st Amendment, but I doubt that the government or the SCOTUS would see it that way.

The House already passed it with overwhelming bipartisan support!!

I’m talking here about a bipartisan legislation the House passed last week (382-11) & that was intro’d last week in the Senate – HR 6408 & S. 1436

Reminder: US charitable organizations — like ALL US entities — are already barred, by law, from providing material support for terror & already face intense scrutiny.

The goal of the new legislation is to dispense with the due process (incl the need for evidence) afforded under law to targeted groups, empowering a single US official to act as prosecutor, judge, jury, & executioner of US orgs whose viewpoints that official disagrees with.
