    Clearly eh?

    “Sedition usually involves actually conspiring to disrupt the legal operation of the government and is beyond expression of an opinion or protesting government policy.”

        As an elected official she is allowed a political opinion. Even an unpopular one. The first amendment protections for political speech are very strong.

        She needs to have done something or supported something in furtherance of that goal.
