Of course you did.
You left off the “by force”. There you have it.
By force comes in a different clause and refers to destroy. But you have a wonderful day.
In your opinion.
They didn’t conspire to overthrow anything.
Of course it is. And yours is the ends justify the means.
Are you on here posting other people’s opinions?
Talking about Using the Constitution to enter into a laborious legal process that involves a vote of 2/3rds of both chambers of Congress is not overthrowing anything.
You left off a part:
They weren’t conspiring to overthrow the government. This solely involved unseating a president, and as the constitution provides a LEGAL mechanism to do so, what they did was, by law, not sedition.
The president is not the government. He’s simply one part of it.
But nice try, though.
You don’t understand the law.
When did I say that?
What is this babble about?
The crux of Sedition is to harm the Givernment of the United States.
Now please tell me how using the Government of the United States in a Constitutional process is sedition.
Who was talking about overthrowing the government? If the 25th amendment (which defines the role of government) was invoked, the only change would be the duly elected VP stepping into the President’s role. The government would still be in place. There would only be a change of personnel in the executive branch.

This argument you guys are trying is absolutely fascinating.
You are focusing on the tool, the least interesting part of the equation. Just like you focus on the gun after a murder.
Murder is illegal.
There are several legal ways to remove the president of the United States from power.
Don’t get emotional.
Glad we could agree. Is it your position that changing the outcome of an election by removing a head of state does no harm to a country?
There was and are no indications nor evidence that the current duly elected President of this country was or is incapable of fulfilling the duties of the office to which he was elected.
That may change, it hasn’t.
Trump isn’t “The Government”
Having a conversation of maybe kinda invoking the 25th amendment is not sedition.
Sedition is a very specific thing.
This ain’t it.

Nice try.
“…conspire to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States…”
All one clause related to force.
To interpret it your way could make an election an act of overthrowing of the government.

“Sedition” has an emotional appeal, which seems to be their point in using it.

Which CEC drone started the sedition thing?
Or did it come out of 4chan?
You’re claiming McCabe wasn’t acting director?
They knew Trump’s people had suspicious contacts with Russian intelligence. They knew the president was trying to shut down a legitimate FBI counterintelligence investigation for no apparent reason other than to protect himself from it. The question was obvious, and is still obvious: what was the President hiding? Whose interests was he serving? Clearly not those of the US.
