The Penalty For Sedition / Insurrection / Civil War
Posted in Education, Other Blogs, Philosophy, Quotes, Science and Learning, tagged #45 - The Loser, 18 U.S.C. § 2384, American Politics, Civil War, Conspiracy, Equal Justice Under Law, Former President Donald Trump, Insurrection, Law And Order, Mar-a-Lago, National Security, Sedition, Senator Lindsey Graham, The First Amendment, Treason on August 29, 2022| 3 Comments »
Over the last weekend, Senator Lyndsey Graham (R – South Carolina) was interviewed on TV and virtually assured that if former President Trump is indicted for taking classified government documents to Mar-a-Lago, there will be “riots in the streets”. | |
My response to Sen. Graham is: “Fine! Rioters will be arrested and prosecuted to the full extent of the law…” | |
Under 18 U.S.C. § 2384, “seditious conspiracy” occurs when two or more persons: | |
conspire to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States, or to levy war against them, or to oppose by force the authority thereof, or by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States, or by force to seize, take, or possess any property of the United States contrary to the authority thereof. | |
NO ONE is above the law – particularly when it comes to the defense of National Security. This especially includes former Presidents! | |
If there is sufficient evidence to indict / convict Donald Trump, then he should be indicted, arrested and brought to trial. If found guilty, Trump should serve time. If found not guilty, Trump should be released. He IS presumed to be NOT guilty until he has been found guilty by a jury of his peers. | |
If individuals (or groups) wish to meet PEACEFULLY to object to / protest the indictment, trial, or results, they have their First Amendment right to do so. They DO NOT have the right to riot or interfere with the process of the lawful administration of justice. | |
Anyone found guilty of rioting and / or conspiracy to riot should be placed on a domestic terrorist watch list for the remainder of their natural lives. They should be reminded that – in the “good, old days” – terrorism, sedition and insurrection were punished by death. | |
If we – as a nation – accept the threat of violence (“riots in the streets”) as a reason to not prosecute ANYONE who would otherwise be subject to prosecution / trial, then we are no longer a country ruled by law. | |
The general public needs to be reminded former President Trump was not the only person in his Administration who was aware of the unlawful removal and possession of government documents (not just the “classified” documents), and they should ALL be indicted and prosecuted. This is the only way to ensure this does not happen again – by an Administration from either political party. | |

51 Days Until The Moron (#45) Is Out Of Office
Posted in Politics, Quotes, tagged #45 - The Loser, H. L. Mencken, Moron, Politics, Quotes, Satire, The Presidency, The White House on November 30, 2020| 2 Comments »
The Presidency tends, year by year, to go to such men. As democracy is perfected, the office represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. We move toward a lofty ideal. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart’s desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron. | |
