Tea party radio host misses felony court date because he was in jail for extortion and drugs

A Michigan tea party activist missed a scheduled court appearance in Wisconsin because he spent Thanksgiving weekend in jail on felony charges in the Upper Peninsula.

Doug Sedenquist was arrested last week and charged with extortion, using a computer to commit a crime, aggravated stalking and possession of a drug chemically similar to a controlled substance.

The extortion and computer crime charges each carry possible 20-year prison terms, said Delta County Chief Assistant Prosecutor Philip Strom.

The 51-year-old Sedenquist, a member of the Republican State Central Committee in Michigan and former vice chairman of the Delta County GOP, had been ordered to appear Tuesday in court in Green Bay, Wisconsin, in a separate case....more

So, if it's not the actual drug that is the controlled substance, but just "chemically similar", they'll nail you for it anyways?

Why does this sound like a bogus charge to be leveling at somebody?

I guess we're playing horseshoes with the law now. If it's close, it counts.

One of the problems with controlling bath salts is the malleability of the MDPV molecule - it's pretty easy to add another nitrogen or a carbon and then you have a completely new molecule with similar effects that is legal because MDPV is a specific thing. By banning drugs chemically similar to a controlled substance you make all bath salts variants automatically illegal without having to spend all day every day amending the law.

Some of 'em sell equally-sleazy "herbal blends," basically fake weed - most of them are just oregano laced with spray-on chemical compounds. And yes, you CAN get busted for them. As per the Synthetic Drug Abuse prevention Act of 2012.

The DEA has also scheduled several other compounds that can generate similar effects.

Basically, if you're going to get high, you're probably breaking the law anyway, so you might as well just go for the real thing.

and all will be forgiven. Maybe he isn't high enough up the ladder for that to happen.

Hopefully he will get the help he needs. Most likely he suffers from depression and the divorce has made him irrational. I know it is funny to people who dislikes republicans, but he is a human being that should be looked upon as needing help not imprisonment.

This earned him some creds in the eyes of the Bagger mouth breathers.
