    If rules were applied equally, Trump would have been banned long ago. He has enjoyed special privilege on various social medium platforms for far too long and now that's gonna end along with his catastrophic presidency. Text book example of the adage "when you're accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression."

    The definition has been provided in this thread, and yesterdays acts by definition are seditious. Sorry.

    Reference your above statement on "election LAW" [emphasis added]: Who do you think can change State law other than the State legislature?

    If the constitution is allowed to erode, it won't matter who is in office. Only the voices of power and control will be heard.

    You should get a grip on reality. There's not going to be any sort of mass round-up of Trump supporters. If Biden were to try it, there would be a civil war.

    I have no love or adoration for the man as noted by my past statements on his deficit spending and somewhat fake efforts to stop illegals from entering the US. I also dislike his pandering to religion as one would expect who has read my posts in the religion section of PF. That being said, I see Trump as by far the lesser of two evils.

    I hope you will hold Joe Biden to the same critical scrutiny as you apply to Trump.

    I don't need to. I will just continue pointing out that nowhere in the constitution is there any mention on state legislatures making election laws for president. It's why you got nowhere in court with that argument.

    Seditious Conspiracy and Federal Law: The Basics
    The federal law against seditious conspiracy can be found in Title 18 of the U.S. Code (which includes treason, rebellion, and similar offenses), specifically 18 U.S.C. § 2384. According to the statutory definition of sedition, it is a crime for two or more people within the jurisdiction of the United States:

    • To conspire to overthrow or destroy by force the government of the United States or to level war against them;
    • To oppose by force the authority of the United States government; to prevent, hinder, or delay by force the execution of any law of the United States; or
    • To take, seize, or possess by force any property of the United States contrary to the authority thereof.

    There will probably be a round-up of many gun owners by Biden. How many will depend on the push-back from the objects of the exercise. Gun confiscation, defunding police, and the appointment of left wing States Attorneys, US Attorneys, and judges will also be part of the Biden agenda. That and further rigging the economy for the elite and globalists. Plus America bashing, global reset, critical race theory, reparations, "free" health insurance for illegals and last but not least the destruction of our two party system. Look for SCOTUS "packing" and DC to become a State with two Senators.

    Left off the punishment language calling for summary execution by federal authorities. Please quote that part too.

    Please link to your messages with that same claim of yours about the protesters trying to breaking and burn a federal courthouse.

    I quoted for you the applicable electoral clause from the Constitution and I also pointed out to you that the SCOTUS rejection of the Texas appeal was based on standing and not the Constitutional issue of the PA secretary of State changing voting procedures (laws to use your language). The is the 2nd and last time I will bother to point this out.

    Yes because condemning violence and calling for peace is adding to violence.

    why? I proved my point.

    why? I've never claimed that wasn't sedition.

    And I corrected you. Nowhere in your quoted section, or anywhere else in the constitution does it mention state legislatures having to make election laws for president. Only for congress. Sorry.

    Them fascists who broke in and terrorized elected officials and vandalized around in the capital must be rounded up and prosecuted to the full extend of the law.
    You have to get a grip on reality, champ. Them terrorized can't be getting away with what they did. They broke the law, and attacked the core democratic values.
    If this leads to civil war to protect the democracy, than so be it.

    First, I am talking about voting LAWS, as enacted by the PA legislature.

    Second, yes, you seem to get that one state can't challenge another state's LAWS enacted by their state legislature.

    Third, they did not rule that the Constitution was not violated because , as per the second point, Texas can't challenge LAWS enacted by another state.

    PA state laws only regulate PA within its borders. To that extent, the venue to challenge a PA law is in a PA court. Making an overly simple example, unless a PA law tries to regulate another state, it can't be challenged in the SCOTUS. Taking this to a ridiculous extreme, if the highest court in PA rules that a PA state law is valid, and they are completely WRONG, there is no recourse. The SCOTUS will NOT overrule(or even take a case) a PA court that rules on a state law UNLESS it violates the US Constitution.

    In the example you cited, the PA legislature determines how elections are run. If they pass an election law that says a beer chugging contest determines who appoints the electors, then that's how it's done. The SCOTUS would have no jurisdiction at all over that state law.

    A handful of unarmed people entering a federal building does not a seditious conspiracy make. Hell, even a handful of armed people doesn't even always do it, as can be seen by the non-charges and exonerations of those involved in the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge occupation. All those people seized, by force, a federal property, for weeks. Do you know how many of them were charged with "seditious conspiracy"? Zero.

    But it's not up to you, and the people who it is up to aren't going to do what you want. That's reality. You can accept it or continue screaming at the sky. It makes no difference. Oh, there might be some minor charges for vandalism or trespassing, and some fines handed out, but no one is getting charged with "seditious conspiracy" over a handful of people entering the Capitol for a few minutes.

    OMG. everybody else is lying and Donnie is an innocent victim treated so unfairly. The man initiated a domestic terrorist attack on the Capitol using social media to organize it and promote his fraudlent rationale for SAVING AMERICA!

    His censure has only just begun.
