‘Setting up a shadow government’???
“The Sedition Act was passed by Congress in 1798, which made it illegal to ‘write, print, utter or publish any false, scandalous and malicious writing’ against the Federal government, including the Congress and the president. Individuals could be tried under this law if they had the intent to either defame the government or incite hatred amongst the people against the government. If convicted, the guilty could receive a fine up to $2,000 and/or up to two years in prison.”
And here we thought we had “free speech”?
LOL! Please!
