Trump FREAKS OUT as Biden BOXES HIM IN - Legal AF



Trump is calling on the MAGA Senators now in the minority to use every delay tactic and dirty trick to block Biden's remaining judge vacancy picks and give Trump dozens of extra judges to appoint to reshape the face of the federal judiciary.

Michael Popok is @ The Intersection to explain the obvious fingerprints of Trump's new WH chief of staff on this attack on Biden, and what the Senate Dems still in power can do about it. - 11/12/2024.

The ACLU Defends Freedom
.
The Sedition Act of 1918 “forbad the use of ‘disloyal, profane, scurrilous, or abusive language;’ about the United States Government….”
This law appears to be a wildly unconstitutional violation of freedom of speech, but it was passed by Congress, signed into law by a President, and upheld by the Supreme Court.
.
That is how easy it is for freedom to die….
.
One person who was prosecuted under the Sedition Act was Eugene Debs, who was arrested for making an anti-war speech in Canton, Ohio.
He was convicted of sedition and sentenced to 10 years in prison in 1919.
Ten years in prison for making a speech!
.
Fortunately, the Sedition Act was repealed by a new Congress in 1920.
Eugene Debs was released from prison by a new president in 1921.
.
That is how fast freedom can make a comeback….
.
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and its predecessor, the CLB, were started to fight against bad laws like the Sedition Act of 1918.
.
Today I started a recurring donation to the ACLU.
.
Just in case there are more threats to freedom coming….
