so the law doesn't apply in this case IMO.

Sedition is even more difficult to prove than is treason. As satisfying and enjoyable as the spectacle might be, it's a virtual certainty that the judge would enter a judgment of acquittal at the end of the government's case.

which I'm sure the Administration pointed out, frequently. (Hell, I would have!)

That's an essential element of the crime.

Just because they did not poke holes in people or make separate body parts of anyone, does not mean no force was used.

Are unhelpful IMO. It makes our side seem extreme and I would rather the public stay focused on the extremism of the right. If nobody went to jail for lying us into Iraq you know damn well nothing will come of this.

it also makes the GOP / Tea Party action look less extreme and more like "business as usual."

Of course it will most likely go nowhere, but who cares? It reinforces the correct perception that TP is criminally unfit to govern.

The disclaimer posted there:

Not hating; just questioning why some legal team shouldn't file charges. Do politicians enjoy immunity from public sedition suits?

I will instead work steadily forward to ensure that those responsible are removed from office in a method that has proven much more effective in an effort that espouses democratic and progressive foundations: at the polls.

Everyday I get something from a well respected and motivated civic organization to take part in some march, gather for a protest, write a letter, sign petitions, collect signatures, make phone calls to voters, call my representatives etc. , But this is often futile. A famous poet wrote that evil grows many branches and to destroy it , we must not just hack at the branches but attack the root.
Today we can argue that there are numerous roots supporting he evil,. Is it Gerrymandering, by the parties? Is it voters suppression by limiting access to the polls? Is it voter disenfranchisement by requiring the old , the poor, and the handicapped to take steps such as getting voter identification? Is it not allowing easy access to the polls for the working poor? Is it the lack of Journalistic integrity which contributes to an unaware or mislead electorate? Is it corporate money and the money of millionaires and billionaires bribing hated plutocracy which runs our government and our economy and many more around the world, our politiicans to ignore the needs of the people whether it be by direct contribution, idea selling, or promises to oppose them. It is all of these things and they have synergistically led to an antidemocratic plutocracy which runs our government, our economy and many other government and economies around the world.
But we can beat this evil if we cut off its roots. The cutting of just one root weakens the foundation because it weakens the other roots too. For example if we get rid of Gerrymandering , we weaken the ability of money to bribe our officials and make them accountable for other issues. Of the roots, fighting Gerrymandering is the best first step and we must fight it in order to use the polls.

...and you realize that this "petition" won't have any impact at all, right?

I can sink my teeth into. signed, tweeted and sent to friends.

could have and still should arrest and prosecute those responsible for harming America. Of course it won't happen.
