It won't happen. It was already difficult enough to prosecute someone for treason for speaking out (several propagandists like Axis Sally and Lord Haw Haw were convicted after WWII).

As with all things from the Clinton Legacy, the bar of civil discourse has been lowered (to somewhere in the gutter).

A host on Air America (Randi Rhodes?) made a death threat against the President ("someone should take him out and shoot him") and it doesn't even merit a blip from the national media (although the launching for the network sure did).

We WILL have a civil war in this country again, I just don't see a Republican president reigning in the anarchist-socialist element in this country (despite their seditious rhetoric). There would be too many claims of America becoming a "police state" and "denying people free speech".

You cannot threaten the life of the president, you cannot advocate the overthrow of our Constitutional form of government (sedition), you cannot promote the war effort of the enemy side (this is treason; if that is how you feel, LEAVE), just as you cannot yell "Fire" in a crowded movie theater in the absence of any emergency.

Sure you can. Afterall, isn't that Bill Clintoons legacy?

We are no longer a nation of laws. We are a nation of scofflaws.

The undermining of our constitutional form of government is complete. (just look at the way the Congress has allowed the courts to make law)

And yes, the 2nd revolution is coming.

Civil War? What is the left going to fight with, harsh words spoken with bad intentions? It would be the shortest and most hilarious uprising since the great french fry debacle at Roosevelt High School.
