Nov 2013

how about continuing to vote to shutdown the government because they wanted to defund the ACA law.

Is that enough for you? The ACA is a law passed by Congress and validated by the Supreme Court, yet those seditious bastards were disrupting the government in an attempt to resist the law.

Read the graphic from the OP again:

Sedition — an illegal action inciting resistance to lawful authority (the SCOTUS validated ACA) and tending to cause the DISRUPTION OR OVERTHROW OF THE GOVERNMENT.

It's as clear as black and white that this is what happened with the 24 billion-dollar-wasted-GOP-backed government shutdown geared at overthrowing a federal law.

Got that?
