Mark was on TV not long ago... I think it was Scarborough country.
I talked to the FBI field office in New York about him. If he opens a bank account for this activity or a soldier takes him up on his offer, he has committed a federal crime.
So more than words must happen before they can do anything.
I sent him a reply and asked him a number of additional questions. If I get a response I will put up a new post.
Yep, encouraging troops to desert is free speech.
Kuby is just one of the bottom feeders of the legal industry - the 50/50 guys. In court, one loses, one wins. That is why they try and settle out of court, they go for the tie.
At http://www.lib.byu.edu/~rdh/wwi/1918/usspy.html which describes Sedition (the Sedition act of 1918) it says:
Whoever, when the United States is at war... incite insubordination, disloyalty, mutiny, or refusal of duty, in the military or naval forces of the United States...shall be punished by a fine of not more than $10,000 or imprisonment for not more than twenty years, or both....
Is this act no longer in effect?
The FBI agent said that it was freedom of speech until some sort of act happens.
