    Excuse my rudeness: are you illiterate? The post states exactly what they’re being charged with.

      Well, there’s two possible interpretations:

      (1) I’m illiterate, and these words are the results of me mashing my fists against the keyboard in a coincidence so unlikely, it practically proves there are infinite universes just to make it plausible; or

      (2) I was intentionally calling attention to the absurdity of prosecuting clearly legal conduct using pretextual lawfare “conspiracy” charges.

        prosecuting clearly legal conduct

        If they passed a law to make something illegal then it isn’t “clearly lawful” conduct.

        That’s how laws work…

          Them boots ain’t going to lick themselves. Good it just be tiring defending bad policy everyday. I hope you’re paid well, and can’t sleep at night.

            Pointing out the tautology that breaking the law is in fact illegal isn’t supporting the police or defending particular laws.

            If you were capable of any critical thought you would understand this.

            The people with cognitive issues are the ones claiming that breaking the law isn’t illegal.

            Whether the law is just or constitutional are separate questions, and one of those questions can only be answered in the Supreme Court.

            It’s still a law until it is struck down by the Supreme Court, and breaking the law is illegal.

            Which I thought was self evident but several people responding here clearly don’t comprehend this.
