Something like the guy that hangs around a sports forum and jumps a guy for using "we" when the guy is referring to "his" team.

Well I watched Youtube, and as I thought would happen, Tucker had a complete segment on it, which means that so far you're batting 0 for 1 in your prognosticarion and your implication that he would dodge it.  

In fact, he had the guy on who is being charged with Sedition and he says the entire thing is complete horseshit.  

He even said that the FBI claimed he was INSIDE the Capitol bldg, when he said that he was never inside and that they were lying.  

He said he was a Navy vet, and that pretty much everything they were claiming about him was untrue. 

Tucker asked him about some plot to bring big guns across the Potomic in a boat, and he said that was utter fabrication by the FBI and that he had ZERO knowledge or planning of anything remotely like that.  

He also said that they came to his farm and arrested him at gunpoint, and threw him in Solitary Lockdown for 2 months.  

According to this guy, the FBI claimed he was the ringleader of some sort of conspiracy to overthrow the gov't and he said that was essentially just made up out of whole cloth by the Feds.  

He sure sounded pretty credible tonight in his denials of everything.  

I guess we'll see what happens next but I'll check Hannity later to see if he covers the story, which no doubt he will.

I think you're confusing Fox News with the other Fake News stations which you view regularly, and are used to them covering up stories and ignoring the ones that are detrimental to the Democrat party.  

You need to understand, Fox doesn't do that.  They let MSNBC and CNN lie to their viewers.

I still have not read the articles, but being charged with conspiracy to commit sedition and sedition are different things.  The burden of proof will be different.  Think in terms of conspiracy to commit murder and murder.  In one case you got a body, in the other you don't.

If I remember correctly a conspiracy charge requires at least one overt act, beyond talk.  Something like moving the weapons into place or maybe obtaining vehicles and the like.  As I mentioned to Jim,  This will be interesting from a legal and political perspective.  I'll go read the stories now.

  When I heard about it yesterday, I read the majority opinion, then switched to reading the minority opinion given by Breyer and signed onto by Kagan and Sotomayor.

  It just struck me that with their dissent, once again the Constitution was pretty much not even referenced.  The dissent given didn't cite Precedent or case law, just raw opinion, and the idea of the administrative state, having as much power as they simply take without authority is really bothersome. 

  This trend seems to me to be overtaking the liberal wing of the court, which is troubling to say the least, and why I mentioned it.  Now I could be all wet and I'm reading more into it than I should, but Sotomayor seems to me to be a big offender in that realm.  

  Some of her writings I've read are strictly based in emotion IMO, and not at all based upon what the Constitution says, what case law is involved, and without precedent.

  I sure hope this trend on the left doesn't continue, but we're now such a divided country, it is worse than ever.

  I liked it much more when Renquist was the Chief Justice.  

  These days I'm becoming even more like Rand Paul and he's had some pretty good go rounds with a lot of bureaucrats up on Capitol Hill.  

  My libertarian streak is getting stronger and stronger, probably because I'm more aware that there are fewer and fewer politicians looking out for any of us Americans. 

  Its all about power, and its occurring on both sides of the aisle.

  Have a happy and prosperous day.  

P.S.  If you haven't read it and you get a chance, pick up Mike Lee's book "Our Lost Constitution".  He's a pretty good writer and it is very informative.  If you want my copy, PM me and I'll send it to you.
