Rachel Powell was in a Washington, D.C. courtroom Tuesday for a bench trial, where she faced nine charges that include civil disorder, obstruction, destruction of U.S. property, entering a restricted building or property with a dangerous weapon, and disorderly conduct.

    Even if I was dim enough to consider Fox News to be an actual news source, I think that I’d still recognize and ignore calls to commit acts of sedition and treason.

    Blind loyalty can be costly. In this case, the price is the loss of freedom for a few years.

    As a general rule, it’s better for citizens to give their politicians marching orders, versus being told how to act and speak by politicians.
