“Wow, I’ve been on FR close to five years and that’s the first I’ve heard of any Americans accused of “sedition.””
Really? Read more.
“If I am not mistaken, there were two anti-sedition acts passed in American history (one during the John Adams administration and one during World War I), and both were either repealed or declared unconstitutional. Despite the fact that federal criminal law is now touches on just about every activity known to mankind, there is no crime on the books now known as “sedition.””
You are mistaken. Take a look at 18 USC Chap 115. The law is quite current and quite constitutional.
The birthers are the most obvious seditionists as by encouraging mutiny in time of war, they are violating 18 USC 2388, but there are plenty of others roaming around, a number on the internet. I am told some of them think that the government doesn’t know who they are, or the extent to which others are supporting them. :)
Then charge the Birthers with Sedition.
Birther goes to court with his defense that Obama was born in Kenya and is an usurper who has gained his office by (A) False Statements under oath [We have Obama’s signed statement from Arizona during the campaign stating that he was a natural born citizen] BIG TIME SMOKING GUN (B) Obstruction of Justice (c) Criminal Conspiracy.
So bring it on. Bring the sedition charges. You are just trying to SCARE people.
I don’t scare easily.
You know, Bob Bauer, YOU will eventually wind up behind bars for this fiasco, don’t you?
And so will Judge Carter.
