    So much this.

    I find the legal definition of “terrorist” is all encompassing of various groups, like insurgents, “freedom fighter” and “liberation army”, but that it’s only applied according to what is politically advantageous.

    I’m in no way as well versed as you are, but it all seems to have the same judicial vibe as “Citizens United” qualifying corporations as individuals… like what? Corporations are by definition a group, but also, legally, an individual?

    What the heck is going on with US legaleese the past decades?
