This is more like it: But according to retired law professor G. Robert Blakey, who wrote the RICO statute and is considered the nation’s foremost authority on it, federal authorities should be using RICO to more rigorously investigate white extremist groups without violating free speech protections.Well said. The Bill of Rights is no reason not to start locking people up for their political beliefs!
