The bill:

(a) OFFENSE —Chapter 13 of title 18, United States Code, is amended by adding at the end the following:

‘‘§ 250. Offenses involving lynching

‘‘Whoever willfully, acting as part of any collection of people, assembled for the purpose and with the intention of engaging in conduct described in paragraph (1) or (2)(A) of section 249(a) against any person, causes death to any person, shall be imprisoned for any term of years or for life, fined under this title, or both.’’.

I wonder if they realize that this could be applied more often to groups of blacks assaulting and killing whites (like in a riot, or in "polar bear hunting") than to any case of "classical" lynching? Or that they count on judges never allowing that interpretation?

We should be alarmed at the language referenced and linked in the bill. These words are part of the bill though not visible until you check the link.

2) Offenses involving actual or perceived religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability.—

This is definitely not the original or common usage definition of “Lynching”. Will it make a protected class for “gender identity” which is not yet in the law? How about “perceived”? We are losing our freedom of speech more and more in the USA.

. Will Republicans in Congress bother to check the language actually linked in the bill?

Never happen, melanin immunity.

The Department of Just-Us would have to choose to prosecute, so there is no risk to blacks.

They would be more likely to use the kidnapping clause to try to prosecute the president for “lynching” illegal aliens “because of their national origin”.
