(7,887 posts)The rest of your argument is actually ok.
Holding elected officials responsible for criminal acts IS part of the political process. It is part of our right to redress right out of the 1st Amendment to the Constitution.
Maybe you are right that "sedition" is too hot of a term, but there has been plenty of malfeasance going on. Many of these people should be recalled simply because they do not have what it takes to do the job they were sent to do and are making a bloody mess of it.
In Minnesota, Michelle Bachmann (even before she went over the ledge) was potentially in danger of being recalled. She spent more time running for President than serving her constituency. She put up NO laws and was unavailable to her constituents consistently while out campaigning for President. Then she sponsored 1 bill. UNDO the energy saving adopted by the State in promoting and using CSF lightbulbs to set an example for greener behavior.
HUGE salary and THIS is what she produces?
Maybe just recalling those whose political track record indicates a complete lack of interest in the good of their country or the process of Democracy, where their hate speech and repeating of propaganda AGAINST the state even when it's been refuted by evidence is a better idea.
Incompetence, premeditation to obstruct Democratic process and Malice we can prove.
