MODERATORS
Your position rests entirely on the US Sedition Act being "too old" to be relevant. If pointing out the short-sightedness of ignoring history - again, your only argument - is "cherry-picking," so be it.
It doesn't. Re-read my last two comments, but this time actually read them instead of just getting hung up on the time factor. I used the time reference as short hand assuming basic reading comprehension initially, but then fleshed it out over the next two comments where I discuss what that time difference implies and boils down to when you look at the totality of circumstances and societal/legal norms and technology between the two eras.
I disagree.
