Supreme Court Justice Commits Sedition By Telling People to Revolt Over Income Taxes

[JDPriestly]

35. The Occupy movement was protesting the banks, not so much the government.

As I understood what they were saying, they were mostly protesting the banks and the financial sector. That is not sedition. That has nothing to do with and is not comparable to what Bundy is doing. Bundy is not protesting against the government. He is rebelling against the government.

What is the difference? The use of arms. Bundy assembled a group of people with arms to stand off against the government. That could be called sedition.

Camping out peacefully without weapons in public places is nonviolent civil disobedience not sedition. There is a huge difference.

When you bring guns, you signal that you are in rebellion.

When you bring your unarmed body and your voice, you signal that you are in a peaceful assembly. You signal that you are petitioning the government.

The First Amendment guarantees our freedom of speech, our freedom of assembly and our right to petition the government. It does not guarantee our right to refuse to pay fees for the use of federal lands after having lost our claim that the lands belong to us. And it does not guarantee our right to prevent federal agents from arming ourselves and pointing guns at federal agents who have come to carry out a court order permitting them to remove cattle that are illegally grazing on federal lands.
