There was a time, not so long ago, that talk like this would get the person jailed for sedition....or treason.

This isn’t a problem at the state or local level. She can screw it up as long as other states don’t bail them out. We have had these crazy experiments with radical socialism even in 19th century; New Harmony IN was s big flop.

The problem is at the federal level because these people are always telling everyone that disagrees with them how to live. That’s why no matter what we have to try to limit federal power, which in my view is impossible by usual means,

Jailing someone like this is also wrong because what she’s doing is legal if she has the votes, and sedition or treason is an attempt to overthrow government by illegal or violent means. So what you’re doing here is imposing your will on someone that wants to do something stupid at the state level. Not take up arm against the government.

Now if her brand of communism call for a suspension of BOR, I would think that most would simply leave for another state, but others that wished to stay could fight and ask for federal help to restore individual rights.
