Six congress critters are telling the military to defy orders. Isn't that sediton? And President Trump has said that is punishable by death.
He is incorrect in that. Military personnel charged with sedition can be punished by death. But civilians cannot. Civilians can be incarceratedfor 20 years or so.
They are saying military can defy illegal orders. Oh yeah? Tell that to the thousands of servicemembers who got thrown out because they wouldn't take the clot shot! That wasn't legal by any stretch of the imagination.
Sedition is overt conduct, such as speech or organization, that tends toward rebellion against the established order. Sedition often includes subversion of a constitution and incitement of discontent toward, or insurrection against, established authority. Sedition may include any commotion, though not aimed at direct and open violence against the laws. Seditious words in writing are seditious libel. A seditionist is one who engages in or promotes the interest of sedition.
