thread_title: Unit's databse

message: I was wondering whether certain foreign-based groups like the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops could be targeted under the Foreign Agents Registration Act. Similar laws were adopted in the United Kingdom  in the 18th century to muzzle local bishops in that country. A recurrent criticism of Catholic bishops is that they are somewhow agents of the papacy and that they are being disloyal to theur host countries. However, this type of criticism often extends to other religions as well, such as the Eastern Orthodox who are linked to Greece and Russia, the Jews who are linked to Israel, Hindus that have ties to India, Buddhists that have links to Tibet,  Sunnis who are linked to Saudi Arabia and Egypt, Shi'ites that are linked to Iran and Iraq, etc. ADM (talk) 12:14, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I doubt it unless they have very strong govt ties and are lobbying. Read the law. Look for sources. CarolMooreDC (talk) 14:22, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

message: Maybe person who added other cases could put Vincent in proper category since obviously it's rather obviously sloppy not doing so? Thanks. CarolMooreDC (talk) 16:13, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: What's the title of his court case? When you answer that question, enter it into Google and go from there. I like to saw logs! (talk) 19:57, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: The archive is now at this April WP:RSN discussion. Over two dozen WP:RS discussions of, quoting from, reprinting of IRMEP materials were presented and several editors opined it was fine to link to its documents in this manner. See discussion for more details.  I note that nine noninvolved editors argue according to policy that it was permissible for that use and three strongly questioned that premise.  Obviously insufficient consensus for Biosketch who made the original edits in question since he again tried to remove the material recently and I had to go back to WP:RSN.

message: USA v. Butina puts a spotlight on 18 USC 951.  It appears to me that the mechanics of registration and enforcement are identical for FARA and 951.  To be honest I am not 100% clear on the difference and why they are separate legislation.  Geo8rge (talk) 20:23, 10 September 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  The article already has a section for related legislation.  I suggest expanding and renaming and this entire article "Foreign Agents Registration Act and related legislation (such as 18 USC 951)".
