The 'no using SIGINT for domestic political suppression' subsection of the post-Patriot Act Federal budget has been removed and the powers allowed under it expanded.
And just in time for the midterms, too.

This source indicates that, although the record is not expunged, the pardon does remove civil disabilities. So why is the claim about "removing this burden" (of being denied such and such as a result of conviction) incorrect?
No it doesn't... The source indicates the exact opposite...This source indicates that, although the record is not expunged, the pardon does remove civil disabilities. So why is the claim about "removing this burden" (of being denied such and such as a result of conviction) incorrect?
While a presidential pardon will restore various rights lost as a result of the pardoned offense and should lessen to some extent the stigma arising from a conviction, it will not erase or expunge the record of your conviction. Therefore, even if you are granted a pardon, you must still disclose your conviction on any form where such information is required, although you may also disclose the fact that you received a pardon. In addition, most civil disabilities attendant upon a federal felony conviction, such as loss of the right to vote and hold state public office, are imposed by state rather than federal law, and also may be removed by state action. Because the federal pardon process is exacting and may be more time-consuming than analogous state procedures, you may wish to consult with the appropriate authorities in the state of your residence regarding the procedures for restoring your state civil rights.
Are there, then, civil disabilities imposed by federal law that will be lifted automatically? Otherwise it would be very strange for the source to contradict itself:No it doesn't... The source indicates the exact opposite...
A pardon is an expression of the President’s forgiveness. It does not signify innocence or expunge the conviction. It does, however, remove civil disabilities—such as restrictions on the right to vote, to hold office, or to sit on a jury—that are imposed because of the pardoned conviction. It may also be helpful in obtaining licenses, bonding, or employment.

Just seemed to be protesting, unless I’m missing something.so, were they protesting or were they blockading?
I mean, some of the tweets explicitly state blockade. I am just wondering what that is about.Just seemed to be protesting, unless I’m missing something.
See, while protesting is hard to get an NPC to understand as actually a crime, given how often it's used to promote things to them, blocking access to a 'vital' and 'life-saving' clinic is easy for them to understand. It also has laws around it, though mostly meant to refer to blocking ambulances and the like.I mean, some of the tweets explicitly state blockade. I am just wondering what that is about.
When people line up across the entrance and refuse to budge for people trying to get in or out, that's when the protest is a blockade. Even when the people are "memaws and pawpaws".Just seemed to be protesting, unless I’m missing something.
If you look at the news articles on this, you might notice none of them have pictures of the "blockading" even though it was livestreamed. The utter lack of images is generally a good clue they're playing word games. Under the FACE act, anything that might be construed as "intimidating" people going to get an abortion is blockading, and a federal offense, even if completely nonviolent.I mean, some of the tweets explicitly state blockade. I am just wondering what that is about.
