We have now moved from Constitutional process to Constitutional authority

Conduct or speech inciting people to rebel against the constitutional authority of the state is the definition of sedition. Sedition is a serious felony punishable by fines and up to 20 years in prison.

Joe Scarborough just tried to equate Republican MAGATS to peace protestors of the 60's.

In his effort to justify Republican dogma that he helped create and has lead to this anti-democratic Ronald Reagan "Government is the problem." attempt by Republicans to destroy our democracy he has drawn a moral equivalency to the peace protests of the 60'. His ego will not let him admit that he helped sow the seeds of this sedition. No Joe. Stop rationalizing this evil. You were wrong then. We rejected the fascism of your Republican Party then and your efforts to justify them today. And the peace protestors of the 60's were right.
