Dem planning bill that would outlaw threatening lawmakers - The Hill's Blog Briefing Room
How about we all step back - take a deep breath....regain our civility and some basic decency and STOP politicizing this tragedy? My god, they didn't even take a deep breath before this became the political platform to take over whatever they haven't been successful grabbing as of yet. I'm waiting for the Health care angle to rear it's head any moment!
Rep. Robert Brady (D-Pa.) reportedly plans to introduce legislation that would make it a federal crime to use language or symbols that could be perceived as threatening or inciting violence against a federal official or member of Congress.
Brady told CNN that he wants federal lawmakers and officials to have the same protections against threat currently provided to the president. His call comes one day after Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.) was shot, along with 19 other people, at a public event in Tucson. A suspect is currently in custody."
