Joshcryer, an Occupy supporter (??) has been criticizing anyone bringing up this bill as naive, saying that it actually makes it more difficult to prosecute. This Salon article contradicts that.

I also find it interesting that people believe that if it has been on the law books since the Reagan era, then it must be a sound law.
