This was Democrat Woodrow Wilson's law that outlawed any dissent from Democrat Woodrow Wilson's war. Republicans used to revile Wilson for such tyranny. Are you suggesting the Republican Party should now emulate the authoritarian Democrats of old?

Al Gore sounded pretty seditious the other day , I think a straight jacket is more in order for him though.

Sedition laws come and go. There have been several of them.

The House Committee On UnAmerican Activities was probably the last group to focus on such investigations (at least publicly).

Anarchist-socialists make no bones about seeking to overthrow the America government. Some muslim groups cast no doubt over that goal either.

Treason is a crime if committed during wartime. Even then, there is little will to prosecute now.

The American born "Axis Sally" served Nazi Germany as a radio propaganda broadcaster. She was convicted on one charge from one broadcast. She "upped with the enemy" and did her most to sour the morale of troops and people in America while boosting the morale of German Nazis.

If that does not automatically count for "aid and comfort" then what does?

Problem is, I think it has to be a declared war before the act goes into force, althought with the bunch of political pansy*ss*s we have in charge now, it is evident that people like John F'n Kerry could probably loudly proclaim public support for terrorism, being absolutely confident that there would be no consequences.

At the time of the Vietnam war I believe that the collaborators on the left hid behind the fact that it was NOT a declared war. No declared war = no sedition.

Kerry and Hanoi Jane should still be scrubbing latrines in prison. Where did we go so far wrong as to not enforce the laws of the United States?
