Happy New year, Jim. Yes, it was Trump and the GOP who upped the penalties for sedition. Oops is right.Originally Posted by James Brown
Hi James,
We discussed this some time ago. Sedition did not used to be the more serious crime, it was a misdemeanor. If I remember correctly, in the mother of all ironies, Trump and The Rs in Congress upped the penalty as a shot across Hillary's bow. Does that ring a bell? Maybe it was before Trump, but IIRC, the penalty for sedition was relatively recently increased from misdemeanor to felony. Oops.
Happy 2023!
