I'd expect the Supreme Court to strike down any such effort, if and when it is enacted into law. The "no-fly" and "terrorism watch" lists do not provide for due process, and then there's that pesky 2nd Amendment issue.*
Of course, a Clinton-packed Supreme Court would likely rule differently than the Court's current make-up, which is an issue I fully expect the RNC et al. to highlight over the next few months.
* On this issue, look for strange bed-fellows, like the NRA joined with the ACLU. The ACLU's objections to the list (even in the context of gun rights) can be found here:
