In reply to the discussion: Sedition is against the law [View all]Tigress DEM
(7,887 posts)It's the advance planning from Obama's re-election that makes this a premeditated disruption to the government for no other purpose than to gain political clout.
It's like the difference between justifying a war that we get involved in to prevent genocide and one someone starts against a country based on lies and misinformation.
They can both look alike because war is war and it has certain characteristics. But there are differences and legally finding a way to keep this trick from coming out of the proverbial rethug/teapug magical hat at every next opportunity is a valid discussion.
I agree that the mega ton of crap they put out on the airwaves while it sickens me, is factually incorrect and totally against my own views is still free speech and I think they are more than welcome to it.
BUT using Democratic process to actually harm Americans by planfully and purposefully disrupting the government is against the oath each Congress Person took to defend the Constitution.
DEMS get in power and people get healthcare, jobs, better living conditions and commonwealth education opportunities.
REthugBags get in power and the rich get richer and lives are endangered everywhere you turn and the government is no place to go for redress.
