I'm sorry, but I don't see the frivolous lawsuit to overturn the election as sedition [View all]

It's a bad lawsuit. It's a bad understanding of democracy. It's bad faith and bad for democracy. But I don't see that it crosses the line of sedition.

It doesn't constitute a rebellion or a call for rebellion to question the means of conducting an election. Given Republican propensity to suppress votes, questioning how a vote was conducted is the last thing we want to establish as a precedent for being seditious or disloyal.

Yes, Republicans are mostly quislings and bad faith actors in democracy, and that's a danger to the republic. We've seen the damage it does to the country. But we shouldn't be party to the criminalization of politics--a tool that the next "Trump" (and there will be a next) will gladly use if it's left as a standing precedent.
