      SMH. One is an actual action. One is a plot.

      BLM should have been charged with a seditious conspiracy. There is evidende of that.

      They went with conspiracy because the burden is lower.

      So basically the other person is correct and you are wrong. You don’t seem to understand an action vs a plot.

      Literary definitions are irrelevant in the court of law.

        "shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. " -14th amendment

        notice how it doesn’t say “convicted of”
        … furthermore, the legal definition of “insurrection and rebellion” and “seditious conspiracy” have an almost complete overlap.

        im sorry you have failed to grasp basic logic, but you know what? there’s a lot of youtube videos on logic… you should check them out! it’s a great opportunity.

        i recommend you dig into symbolic logic… pretty abstract but i think it helps intuitively
