Two Police Officers Shot in Ferguson, Mo.

I read the St. Louis Post-Dispatch article and I paraphrase the pastor who's a Bishop or Bishop who is a pastor said the misguided young man was merely shooting in the air with his 40 caliber to scare someone who had robbed him. He showed great remorse to the Pastor/ Bishop. That's good enough for me, please release him without any charges.


So, will we see the "outrage" in the white community from this senseless shooting? Will we see business' torched and people beaten? Of course not, the white people all have to be at Jobs, not destroying stuff that is not their's. Where is Al Sharpton's rant against this crime?
Will obama and holder initiate an investigation into the organizations behind the protests?
Right after they get done investigating the 47 Republican politicians who committed sedition.

Is it "sedition" to point out to the world what the US constitution says? If so, indict me also please!

Deflecting

"Right after they get done investigating the 47 Republican politicians who committed sedition. "
hoops2 - you call malibber's remark " deflecting" - I call it "pathetic".
hoops2, jphelan and drmilled have no respect for the rule of law. Tom 60 days a Senator and his band of treasonous traitors violated the Logan Act.

Any citizen of the United States, wherever he may be, who, without authority of the United States, directly or indirectly commences or carries on any correspondence or intercourse with any foreign government or any officer or agent thereof, with intent to influence the measures or conduct of any foreign government or of any officer or agent thereof, in relation to any disputes or controversies with the United States, or to defeat the measures of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.


If you were an impeach Bill Clinton guy because of the often cited conservative talking point "the rule of law" and you don't demand this treasonous crew be prosecuted you are forever a hypocrite of the highest order.
As of today the United States remains pretty much a Nation of Laws, . . . although poor old DonDiego notes some folks ignoring federal Regulations and even the Constitution to the extent they can get away with it. Nonetheless, "sedition" and "treason" are defined within the US Code:

18 U.S. Code § 2384 - Seditious conspiracy:
If two or more persons in any State or Territory, or in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspire to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States, or to levy war against them, or to oppose by force the authority thereof, or by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States, or by force to seize, take, or possess any property of the United States contrary to the authority thereof, they shall each be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both.

18 U.S. Code § 2381 - Treason:
Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.

DonDiego hasn't seen either of these crimes committed lately. If these crimes ever do transpire, . . . poor old DonDiego hopes he's too old to hafta pick a side, and they jes' leave him alone.

Re: The Logan Act

"The clear intent of this provision [Logan Act] is to prohibit unauthorized persons from intervening in dispute between the United States and foreign governments. Nothing in § 953, however, would appear to restrict members of the Congress from engaging in discussions with foreign officials in pursuance of their legislative duties under the Constitution. . . ."
Ref: Department of State comment in Digest of United States Practice in International Law 1975, page 750

If the Logan Act didn't stick when Senators McGovern and Sparkman visited Cuba in 1975, it's unlikely to sitck in 2014 against the House of Representatives.

A brief history of the Logan Act and the general practice of not enforcing it can be found at Conducting Foreign Relations without Authority
Don Diego asks the us to overlook the plain meaning of the Logan act. Malibber notes many conservatives didn't think there was anything wrong about impeaching a sitting president for lying about a private sexual matter. They said it didn't matter what the intent of the impeachment provisions of the constitution were the rule of law is the rule of law. I guess I will have to count Don Diego as one of these political hypocrites forevermore.

Tom Cotton and his merry band of traitors broke the law and it isn't even a tough case as we have written evidence. BTW the letter would fall under conspire to put down in 18 USC § 2384.
I wish democrats weren't so spineless there is probable cause for the Federal Government to arrest these guys.
