Sedition
is the incitement of discontent or rebellion against a government. It involves speech that promotes rebellion. Sedition is not something we advocate or will
advocate. In fact, it is the opposite of
sedition for us to petition for execution of the law precisely as it is
written. It is the opposite of sedition
for us to defend the supreme law of the land.
It is loyal for us to do so.
Consistent
with constitutional law, we support the rule of law. Not government by persons or personalities.
It is not seditious for us to reprove persons and
personalities who hold a public trust or seek public ends—especially if they do
not uphold the rule of law. It is not sedition
or terrorism or “hate speech” to do so--even in exigencies and emergencies.
On the other hand, is
it not sedition for persons who consider America defective to enforce Constitutional law? Is it not seditious for the rule of law to be smothered by economic ends (see my post "Is Justice Alive and Well?")?
