Given the urgency of the matter at hand with respect to the NLLC, and the fact that Lincoln's Assembly is already considering how to act on this crisis, I decided to bring this up now and to assume sponsorship as a senator from the affected region.

I have only one question about the text as is: does this bill give the Attorney General unlimited authority to designate someone as a terrorist without probable cause or a warrant?

(Also, Senators have 24 hours to object to my sponsorship.)

The purpose of this legislation, quite plainly, is to authorize the civil authorities of this Republic and of the Lincoln Region to bring the full might of the law against the NLLC. I should hope the reasons for this would be self-evident: we are talking about a group that has deliberately targeted civilians, destroyed public property, and kidnapped a federal officer in a bloodthirsty and illegal campaign for power. This is simply unacceptable, and I implore the Congress to act swiftly to enact this legislation.

. . .

It does not. The Justice Department would continue to be restrained by the normal rules of due process, probable cause, and the constitutional rights of alleged criminals; this provision simply allows the Attorney General to act quickly to stamp out any "sister groups" that may align themselves with the NLLC. A similar clause was included in the Conservagreen Brigade Terrorist Designation Act passed by the Congress last year.

I urge my colleagues to vote for this bill. The actions of the NLLC are despicable and we must stand with Governor Wells and the Lincoln region in rounding up and prosecuting these terrorists to the fullest extent of the law.

     I support the bill. The Senate needs to take a strong stand condemning and fighting domestic terrorist organizations wherever they may arise.

This has enough votes to pass.  Senators have 24 hours to change their vote.

With five votes in favor, the bill passes the Atlasian Senate and is sent to the Vice President.
