Protester = Terrorist

BOO! BOO BOO BOO! The senate just unanimously passed a bill that labels civil disobedience as terrorism! Story here. Text of the bill here. It is nominally against "eco-terrorists", whom I naturally have no love for when they burn down half a forest to save the forest cuz there was a house in it. They just make us look bad. Arrest them all you want, but the bill also contains this bit of wonderfulness:

`(1) for an offense involving exclusively a nonviolent physical obstruction of an animal enterprise or a business having a connection to, or relationship with, an animal enterprise, that may result in loss of profits but does not result in bodily injury or death or property damage or loss--

`(A) not more than $10,000 and the length of imprisonment shall be not more than 6 months, or both, for the first offense; and

`(B) not more than $25,000 and the length of imprisonment shall be not more than 18 months, or both, for a subsequent offense;

So if I stand in front of Nalgene and protest them making those little plastic blocks that hold rabbits in place for makeup testing or whatevertf, I can go to jail for 6 months?!?! Bullllllllllllshit!
