What next? Illegal to speak out against leaders during times of foreign police actions?

Actually, that line has already been drawn in the law books:

18 USC Sec. 871 -- "...Whoever knowingly and willfully deposits for conveyance in the mail or for a delivery from any post office or by any letter carrier any letter, paper, writing, print, missive, or document containing any threat to take the life of, to kidnap, or to inflict bodily harm upon the President of the United States, the President-elect, the Vice President or other officer next in the order of succession to the office of President of the United States, or the Vice President-elect, or knowingly and willfully otherwise makes any such threat against the President, President-elect, Vice President or other officer next in the order of succession to the office of President, or Vice President-elect, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than five years, or both."

Whether you agree with it or not (another debate) it's already in the books pushed as far as the citizens who wrote it at that time cared to go.

Actually, that line has already been drawn in the law books:

Nothing in the law you quoted would ban critisizing the President during wartime. In fact, such a law would be blatantly unconstitutional.

I do not think that means what you think it it means.

That's right. Which means it is completely legal to speak out against our respective leaders. Just as it's completely legal to burn a piece of cloth that is a symbol. You know you're dangerously close to the Alien and Sedition Acts the Framers, namely Jefferson, saw fit to throw out.
