USA Today teams with Soros-funded NGO to target counterterrorism

Last week USA Today and the Soros-funded Center for Public Integrity published an article attacking state-level efforts to combat terrorism and protect individual fundamental constitutional rights.

I am personally very proud to have worked on such efforts to protect individual fundamental constitutional rights and efforts to empower survivors and victims of terrorism. Amazingly, despite the 3,000 words dedicated by the authors of the USA Today article to the subject, something curious never made it into their article: What the two forms of legislation in question actually say.

Why would journalists not report the words on paper that they are supposedly writing about? The two pieces of legislation that USA Today and CPI targeted were American Laws for American Courts and Andy’s Law.

American Laws for American Courts

The purpose of American Laws for American Courts (ALAC) is spelled out clearly in the opening paragraph of the model legislation:
The [general assembly/legislature] finds that it shall be the public policy of this state to protect its citizens from the application of foreign laws when the application of a foreign law will result in the violation of a right guaranteed by the constitution of this state or of the United States, including but not limited to due process, freedom of religion, speech, or press, and any right of privacy or marriage as specifically defined by the constitution of this state.
