It’s hard to overstate how much different NSPM-7 is from the over 200 executive orders Trump has frantically signed since coming back into office.

NSPM-7 directs a new national strategy to “disrupt” any individual or groups “that foment political violence,” including “before they result in violent political acts.”

In other words, they’re targeting pre-crime, to reference Minority Report.

The Trump administration isn’t only targeting organizations or groups but even individuals and “entities” whom NSPM-7 says can be identified by any of the following “indica” (indicators) of violence:

  • anti-Americanism,
  • anti-capitalism,
  • anti-Christianity,
  • support for the overthrow of the United States Government,
  • extremism on migration,
  • extremism on race,
  • extremism on gender
  • hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on family,
  • hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on religion, and
  • hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on morality

Are these directives revokable?

[-] Truscape@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 7 months ago

Yes, by another president. If we get one.

I was wondering if courts may be a recourse...

Theoretically, but in practice the supreme court would probably hand wave any accusations of the orders being unconstitutional. In actuality a new president would be the remedy.

It's not an executive order, as the article details the difference.

Apologies, found the one for presidential directives: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presidential_directive

However, two thirds of congress in the house and especially the senate is equally unlikely.

Oh thank you, I need to work on my query skills, I searched the abbreviation.

With all the ones left in place, that says a lot about the "reasonable" party.
