It was inevitable that the Democrats would overreact to legal challenges by President Trump and other Republicans to corrupt election practices in swing states, but some responses have been unhinged even by their standards. One recurring refrain is particularly disturbing — that lawyers, members of Congress, and state attorneys general who supported post-election litigation are guilty of sedition. At least one Democratic congressman insists that attorneys representing the president in such challenges should be disbarred and that House members who supported Texas v. Pennsylvania in the Supreme Court shouldn’t be seated in Congress. One of the defendants in that ill-fated lawsuit described it as a “seditious abuse of the judicial process.”
This dangerous view of dissent has a long, sordid history among progressives. Democratic President Woodrow Wilson, for example, was the driving force behind the notorious Sedition Act of 1918, passed by his fellow Democrats at a time when they controlled both houses of Congress. This anti-democratic outrage made it a felony crime to criticize the government and, by extension, Wilson himself. A violation of the Sedition Act was punishable by a fine of as much as $10,000 and imprisonment for as long as 20 years. More than 2,000 American citizens were arrested and prosecuted pursuant to the Sedition Act. This crime against democracy was at length repealed by the Republicans after the GOP won majorities in both houses of Congress in the 1918 midterm elections.

There’s all the proof you need.
When they did it - it was upholding America.
When the GOP does it - it’s sedition.
Take off the kid gloves...
And “sedition” will be the charge they use to arrest and imprison Trump, his family, and as many supporters as possible. The democrats have already admitted as much.
They will have to live to do it. KTF
The left always accuses the right of what the liberals are already doing.
So, when black folks tell a cop to piss off when the cops tell them to put their hands behind their backs, according to this fella, they are being seditious?
Have you been on TheDonald.win lately?
I have never been there.
I expect Donald rump to be arrested for a hos of “crimes” and tried by an Obama judge with appeal to a 15 Justice Supreme Court.
