That's an even worse example, when and where did they do that?
In this case, the judge seems to be considering it illegal to ADVERTISE… which is basically pre-crime.
Well any time the U.S. has performed a "pre-emptive" strike they are doing so with the same mindset as pre-crime. They want to attacker an attacker before they get a chance to attack. They seem to think it's a more honorable excuse for killing people than simply being the aggressor.
