16. I never said they were committing sedition.

Words matter don't they? And I haven't had enough coffee yet. No, they haven't done anything illegal - there was no law broken where they could be arrested. Unconstitutional, or being out of compliance with the constitution, is not criminal unless a law is passed supporting that ruling.

I think a lot of people, including myself, desperately want what they've done to be criminal and see them carted off in handcuffs. We do live in a democracy (?), so all we can do is hope the process spits them out eventually.
