Advice to the Attorney General from Abe Lincoln
Dear A.G. Merrick Garland,
Pardon me for publicly accosting you with advice on how to do your duty as Attorney General, but it seems the First Amendment requires me so to do.
Also, my petition is iendered not only for myself, but also for my late Great Grandfather, who emigrated from Kent to fight against racism and slavery under President Lincoln, and for his bride, whose Delaware ancestry reflected the indigenous American principles on which the Age of Reason tenets founding the American Revolution were based.
This Petition might never have been triggered but for the sight of a traitor against the U.S. Constitution proudly flaunting the battle banner of the Confederate States of America in the Capitol on 6 January, 2021.
Another spur for this petition was a segment on Public Television yesterday in which a Washington Post editor opined that prosecution of Donald John Trump for violation of 18 U.S.C. 2384 and 2385 (seditious conspiracy and advocating overthrow of the U.s. Government by force, violence or assassination of Mike Pence)) was unlikely due to lack of precedent.
Guidance on this point comes from Abe Lincoln, who advised the Congress that, "As our case is new, so we must think anew ,and act anew .
" We must disenthrall ourselves, and act anew. "
