If the SoCal fire are NOT terrorists then why is congress russing this bill?

Question

If officials said the fires are NOT terrorists why is the "Homegrown Terrorist Prevention Act of 2007" being rushed into legislature.

section 899A claus 1:

HOMEGROWN TERRORISM- The term `homegrown terrorism' means the use, planned use, or threatened use, of force or violence by a group or individual born, raised, or based and operating primarily within the United States or any possession of the United States to intimidate or coerce the United States government, the civilian population of the United States, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives.

sounds great but read between the lines...the Secretary and his various deligates can easily identify an group of peaceful protestors and say "We have evidence that suggest these individuals were planning on using force to coerce the population into their idealism."
and boom--instant terrorists "BECAUSE WE SAID SO"...and once considered terrorists by the defence department, the constitution is void.

Answer 1

This Act was introduced in the Senate on August 2nd. Today is October 24th. The Malibu Fire began in the early morning of October 21st. I'll be glad to trade a good calendar for your tin foil hat!

Answer 2

Answer 3
