    As an elected official she is allowed a political opinion. Even an unpopular one. The first amendment protections for political speech are very strong.

    She needs to have done something or supported something in furtherance of that goal.

    • Ah-eh, support of the sedicious insurrection happened on January the 6th 2022 is still not enough to be qualified as “something”?

      I love when conservatives pull shit like these comments out of their brains to defend the human garbage they voted into Congress

        rofl - not a conservative buddy. Not by a long-shot. I’m just not a blind partisan who thinks laws mean what I want them to mean.

        • The issue is that you don’t even KNOW the law you are blabbering about. And please note that I’m not even American but still know your system better than you.

          Must be all that not blind partisanship keeping you from understanding the reality around you

            Oh you do do you? 🤣

            Then please - explain the law to me citing case-law to support your argument. Which should be easy given your vast knowledge on the topic.

            • I already did but you are too centrist to understand evidently.

              Maybe you’ll grow up with time, maybe not.

              Have a good centrist life :D

        • Problem is that communist views don’t threaten the American constitution as the case Yates Vs. United States has confirmed. With this decision the high court has set a precedent where a distinction was made between political positions that advocate for abstract points are not the same as advocating for immediate or future actions.

          Since this beast of a woman has already shown her disregard for the American constitution by supporting the people who tried to golpe the political system, adding another tally to the treasonous list must not be a big deal for you, who are such an enlightened centrist.

          Not a conservative but not an intelligent person either I see. You therefore must be a centrist :)

      And everyone else is allowed their opinions too. And the idea that someone who wants to dissolve the country shouldn’t be in Congress doesn’t seem like it should be that controversial.

        “Shouldn’t” and “can’t” are very different things. She absolutely shouldn’t be in congress. But that doesn’t mean we can interpret laws anyway we want.

          I don’t see “can’t” anywhere in this thread before your comment. Just a bunch of speculation about if what she’s doing counts as sedition. And that discussion is absolutely protected by the first amendment.
