This video analyzes whether six members of Congress, dubbed the 'seditious six,' could face legal repercussions for publicly messaging the US military. It clarifies that while sedition itself isn't illegal, seditious conspiracy (18 U.S. Code § 2384) requires a conspiracy to overthrow or levy war against the US by force. Treason (18 U.S. Code § 2381) is defined as levying war or adhering to enemies, giving them aid and comfort. The video concludes that the actions of the 'seditious six' likely do not meet the legal threshold for these crimes, and legal accountability through the criminal justice system is improbable, though investigations may occur.
