There was something on the web, probably at Instapundit, which was about a statement made with respect to the Jan. 6th defendant at his sentencing. I could link to it, but if you're interested, you can do that yourself.
Anyway, the defendant's statement had nothing to do with his guilt, as far as I can see. He said that Biden was "lawfully and respectfully elected". My reaction to this is WTF?
Was he arrested for expressing his first amendment rights?! Was that statement coerced out of him, or his punishment would be far, far worse? If so, what does that say????
Ten to one, nobody else has this reaction I just expressed. Evidently, most people today are okay with criminalizing speech. Most people today are okay with criminalizing dissent. Otherwise, there would be a HUGE uproar over this. But I betcha there won't be.
A statement about WHY he broke a law, if he did so, might be appropriate. But a statement that only serves one viewpoint over another under coercion is definitely not kosher.
Extracting confessions is illegal under the Geneva convention, if I am not mistaken. This is the stuff that pinko regimes do. Especially a confession to that which isn't even illegal.
Not looking good, kiddoes.
Update:
Memory was off just a little. He didn't say elected, he just said President. Okay , water is really wet. Big deal.
