Sedition: Video Coverage

Yesterday, I published an article detailing what I consider criminal sedition by 447 Republican Senators.  Has I waited, I could have included video from several of my favorite commentators, but my article was up before they were on the are.  To better inform you on this important story, here they are.

Ed Schultz:

Lindsey Poo and Shmuley are dead wrong. The leading sponsor of terrorism in the middle east are Saudi Arabia.

Chris Hayes:

Murphy is appeasing Senate Republicans. What they are doing clearly falls within the purview of the Logan Act. Steele is just goose-stepping. He made a fool of himself.

Lawrence, O’Donnell:

This is embarrassing. Iran’s foreign minister known more about our Constitution that 47 Senators. In my opinion, this was the best coverage of the three.

In my opinion, all 47 should be criminally indicted.  Sadly, the Obama administration just lets Republican crimes slide.  If Republicans commit sedition, it’s not a bid deal.  If Democrats jaywalk, it’s a capital offense.

  2. I tacked this on to yesterday but will post it here too.

    Petition to prosecute at whitehouse.gov:

    https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/file-charges-against-47-us-senators-violation-logan-act-attempting-undermine-nuclear-agreement/NKQnpJS9

    It requires 100,000 signatures to get a response.  It's growing fast but not fast enough for me LOL..

    • Incidentally 47 out of 100 is 47%.  Doesn;t that figure sound familiar?

    • JD, the signatures number almost 114,000 so you should have heard the sonic boom today when the 100,000 barrier was broken!

      Most gladly signed as a "resident" of WA.

      • My bad . . . that should say almost 119,000 signatures!  I think I must need new glasses.

    • Signed the petition and shared it on Facebook.

    • 136,000 – site undergoing maintenance – so totals won't rise till maintenance finished – hope it is 500,000 – or more!

  3. Over 51,000 signatures so more than halfway to required for a response.

    I once would have thought McCain knew better.

  4. I checked to see what Faux News website said.  Their headline was still about Hillary's e-mails.  

    I found a video which showed Cotton looking not too stupid, but then they switched to John Bolton for commentary and I had to cut it off because I am too nice and too smart to listen to John Bolton.  I have standards.  

  5. Looks like the senators (small “s” intended!) from OK have signed their asses up for this!

  6. Here is the copy of the letter I'm faxing to as many seditious senators as possible.  (I use several FREE FAX services, and they limit the number that can be sent per day.)

    RE: Shame on You for Your Seditious Letter to Iran, Which Is a Clear Violation of the Logan Act

    Sir –

    You may think there is no chance that you will ever be prosecuted, and you may well be right, but make no mistake about it: You are in blatant violation of 18 U.S.C. § 953 [Logan Act].

    Your letter to Iran, signed by you and your 46 fellow Likud-licans, is a transparent effort to start a proxy war for Israel.  A war you want to be fought by Americans for Bibi Netanyahu and Likud.  It is disloyal to the point that it becomes, at the minimum, moral treason.

    Under our Constitution and under the laws of our land, there is no role for Congress to negotiate with foreign governments.  Nor is there any situation where Congress is permitted to interfere with negotiations that does not violate the separation of powers.

    By allying yourselves with the Mullah hardliners you have enormously expanded the danger for all Americans.  Do you not realize that Iran is our ally in fighting ISIS?  How do you possibly justify escalating the danger our troops face in the Middle East?

    Your Likud-lican party has apparently aligned itself with, and at least in spirit agreed to take marching orders from, the head of a foreign government.  A head who your party’s Speaker recently unilaterally, and against all protocol and tradition, invited to address Congress.  

    Your Likud-lican party is driven solely by your endless hatred of Pres. Barack Obama.  Witness your letter’s push for another costly war in blood and treasure that is stupid, self-destructive and unnecessary stemming solely from your hatred of Pres. Barack Obama.

    We do not need to have American foreign policy dictated by apocalyptic, Right-wing, end-times religious fanatics – whether they be located here or in Israel.

    You should be ashamed of yourselves for undermining the President of the United States of America.

    As Is Said in the South, Bless Your Heart,

  7. The WH petition with its signatories has to be the fastest 100,000 I've ever seen.
    What are the most likely scenarios that would play out…?
    Any ideas, suggestions, comments from our C2/PP "peanut gallery"…

    • At this time stamp, it's 115,876 in well LESS than 24 hours.

      I'll be curious to see what happens to this one.

    • 128,000 when I signed, I also shared it on Facebook, a few of my friends will sign.-

  8. Ed Schultz:  The Republicans have hit a new low with this one, and I didn't think they could sink any lower.  I googled the Logan Act after Nameless mentioned it last night, and it appears to me that they have violated it and should be prosecuted.  I personally consider their acts treason.

    Chris Hayes:  I agree with Mr. Murphy, they have crossed a line!  They have also embarassed our country to the whole world with their stupidity.  I kind of wish Dems would have done this when Dubya decided it would be great to go to war with Iraq.

    I keep hoping that someone in the Republican party will decide they should work with the President instead of against him, and try to lead the party to actually do the job they were sent there to do.  I know it won't happen. I still think they committed treason.

  9. To me, these senators are interfering in affairs of state of which they have little knowledge.  They are not involved in the negotiations and all they have accomplished so far is to make themselves and the US, look like bumbling idiots. Is this American exceptionalism?  Let them continue and the country will be at war.  How many young soldiers will be shipped off to fight this war and not return?  Perhaps the first wave should consist of Republicanus/Teabaggerum senators and representatives with no deferments for bad eyes or age.

    I find these Republicanus/Teabaggerum actions defiant of the law and the constitution, and so egregious that they ought be charged with sedition.  I hope that the White House petition prompts the appropriate action.  How many times have we listened to the Republicanus/Teabaggerum say that Obama is so very divisive?  "Et tu, Bruet?"

  10. I did like Angus King's response last night on Rachel Maddow's show. http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow/watch/us-unity-on-iran-shattered-by-cotton-letter-411369539834

    It seems the MSM prefers to focus on email-gate instead of sedition by 47 senators who do not understand the law. How long wil it be before all of our favorites on MSNBC get cancelled for not following the line?

  11. Now that President Obama is in the last two years of his presidency, I do hope he will show he has both a spine and principles and stop trying to placate these lunatic seditionists – playing nice with lunatics just doesn't work – hasn't he learned that by now?  Prosecute these seditionist/traitorous people before they do something even worse!  Letting them off all the time just makes him look weak and encourages their lunacy.

     

  12. Very curious as to how the White House responds to the petition since it's met both Thresholds.  The Petition has to get 150 signatures within 30 days to become "Publicly Searchable".  [Not sure what that means.  Do you have to promote it yourself among your friends/associates and provide a link?]  And then 100,000 signatures in 30 days to generate a promised response of some type "in a timely fashion."

    https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/how-why/terms-participation

    BUT they do have some wiggle room in HOW they respond to certain Petitions, of which this one most likely falls:

    How will the White House decide which petitions to respond to?

    The White House plans to respond to each petition that crosses the signature threshold

    The White House plans to respond to each petition that crosses the signature threshold …. In a few rare cases (such as specific procurement, law enforcement, or adjudicatory matters), the White House response might not address the facts of a particular matter to avoid exercising improper influence.

  13. I said I was shocked but they have such a fear of people of color and gender and must important the fear of losing the white house for years to come.. They think just because of the win in 2014 they have pass of the American people to go out on President Obama to undermine and be more open to show disrespect for our President.  It is just mine blowing.  I know if Clinton deciedes to run for President  she best get our party to stand behind her 100%. You either do or you will have another 8 yrs of just side stepping issues and running our country into the ground.  "Oh is that what the republian/teaparty want you bet."

    Because if you are not a angry white man you have rights and kicking you over and over is fair game.
