OPPOSING THE RIGHT: IT'S NOT ILLEGAL YET

Here are a couple of clips from today. First, Newt Gingrich on Fox News:


And at today's D.C. anti-vaxx rally, here's Del Bigtree, a vaccine denialist of such long standing that he was wearing a yellow Star of David to protest vaccine mandates even before there was COVID.


In both cases it's just bluster, I suppose -- but unlike the pursuers of criminal charges against Donald Trump and the January 6 rioters, who base what they're doing on actually existing laws, these people are saying that congressional investigations and pro-vaccine journalism should potentially expose you to prison without any reference to any law on the books.

Oh, look -- here's more:


When does it stop being bluster? When will the first journalist be killed execution-style? Who'll be the first elected Democrat to be brought up on sedition charges by a Republican government that has concluded that investigating an attempted seizure of the government is the real sedition?
