realnifty1 02/26/20 9:39:17 PM #33:	About 100 yeas too late, but it also doesn't exactly do what you might think if I'm reading it right. So lynching as we most understand it already falls under the statute being amended here as it would qualify as a Hate Crime. The added section labeled as lynching defines itself as conspiracy to violate Civil Rights, commit a hate crime, or infringe on religious beliefs. Ultimately I end with mixed feelings on this as conspiracy to violate Civil Rights could see an awfully broad application. <cite>realnifty1 posted [p:934926064] in 4 Senators...
