>>>I guess I'm having a hard time understanding "terror" as a crime. I mean, if you shoot someone or blow something up, there are already remedies for that. It strikes me as too vague, like "hate crime."<<< I'm reminded of Justice Stewart... To the general public, Stewart may be best known for a quotation, or a fragment thereof, from his opinion in the obscenity case of Jacobellis v. Ohio (1964). Stewart wrote in his short concurrence that "hard-core pornography" was hard to define, but that "I know it when I see it."[9] Usually dropped from the quote is the remainder of that sentence, "and the motion picture involved in this case is not that." Justice Stewart went on to defend the movie in question against further censorship. One noted commentator opined that: "This observation summarizes Stewart's judicial philosophy: particularistic, intuitive, and pragmatic."[9] Justice Stewart later recanted this view in Miller v. California, in which he accepted that his prior view was simply untenable. en.wikipedia.org * * *
