In reply to the discussion: I'm sorry, but I don't see the frivolous lawsuit to overturn the election as sedition [View all]unblock
(56,240 posts)calling on the courts to rule in their favor despite the lack of evidence, or otherwise putting pressure on them to rule in their favor other than on the merit of the case -- or worse, as some sort of compensation for donnie having appointed them -- that goes beyond the legitimate rights of candidates to protect their right to a proper, legal election.
that's where the problem is, a perhaps some of that is even illegal.
that said, i agree, it doesn't amount to "sedition", which usually involves weapons or an appeal to use weapons to overthrow the government. of course, when they talk about second amendment solutions, they get damn close to sedition, but i haven't seen any quote yet that really amounts to what i would consider sedition.
but clearly there's plenty of room to be horrible and reprehensible in an effort to overturn an election and yet not quite amount to sedition. doesn't make what they've been doing any better, it's just the wrong word or phrase for it.
what they *are* doing is attempting a coup. fortunately, they're pretty incompetent.
this time, anyway.
