14. Only one problem with this: the pesky bill of attainder clause in the Constitution

But we can enforce the laws already on the books far more vigorously then now, such as advocating the overthrow of government, seditious conspiracy, and other subversive, anti-democratic activities.

In addition, we can also expand the definition of sedition and advocating overthrow of goverment by criminalizing passage of laws such as voter suppression legislation, corporate immunity from the law, etc.
