Where did they leave that petard?

South Carolina has just passed a law requiring, "subversive agents" to register Subversive Agent Registration Form(pdf), with the Secretary of State.

Subversive agent is a pretty broad category, in this law.

Check the appropriate box.
Do you or your organization directly or indirectly advocate, advise, teach or practice the duty or necessity of controlling, seizing or overthrowing the government of the United States, the state of South Carolina or any political division thereof?
[ ] YES [ ] NO

Penalties for failing to register are a fine of up to 25,000 dollars and as much as ten years in prison.

I wonder how many member of the Americans for a Republican Majority, etc. will register.

I suspect they are defunct. I particularly like the, "list other members" portion of the form.

I meant more to make the point. With the "right of revolution" passages from the Declaration of Independence helpfully stapled to the form.
