14. Sedition and the US legal code

Let's hope the media know and report this.

On edit - 'by force" is the key modifier. While the behavior is seditious, it doesn't equate to a seditious conspiracy as defined in the US legal code - http://codes.lp.findlaw.com/uscode/18/I/115/2384

But I'm not a lawyer so I don't know if force always implies physical force.

As an aside, the US code re: sedition and treason is a really interesting read. I hadn't thought to look it up until seeing your post.

18 U.S.C. § 2385 : US Code - Section 2385: Advocating overthrow of Government reads as:

Whoever knowingly or willfully advocates, abets, advises, or teaches the duty, necessity, desirability, or propriety of overthrowing or destroying the government of the United States or the government of any State, Territory, District or Possession thereof, or the government of any political subdivision therein, by force or violence, or by the assassination of any officer of any such government; - See more at: http://codes.lp.findlaw.com/uscode/18/I/115/2385#sthash.vW7pvXnZ.dpuf

I'm including this section of the code since it has the words violence and force. Which begs the question - is there a different legal definition of force that doesn't include violence?
