Stewart Rhodes, the North Texan who helped mastermind the 1\/6 insurrection, is now going to get to spend 18 years in federal prison.<\/p>\n

How many ways can I say I applaud the sentence that came from the federal judge?<\/p>\n

Rhodes remains defiant, of course! He calls himself a “political prisoner” even though a jury convicted him of seditious conspiracy. Let us look at what sedition entails.<\/p>\n

It is to “incite rebellion” against the government. Which is what occurred on 1\/6. Rhodes, a one-time lawyer, is the founder of the Oath Keepers organization, a right-wing mob of goons who believe that Donald Trump should have remained president even though he lost the 2020 election to Joe Biden.<\/p>\n

The Oath Keepers, led by Rhodes, sought to engineer a coup on 1\/6. They failed.<\/p>\n

Eighteen years in the slammer is a long time. My fond hope is that Rhodes serves every damn bit of it. Rhodes is the latest 1\/6 ringleader to be held accountable for his disgraceful behavior on that day.<\/p>\n

I’ll leave it to the presiding judge to put a cap on this commentary: \u201cYou, sir, present an ongoing threat and a peril to this country, to the republic and to the very fabric of our democracy,\u201d<\/em> said U.S. District Court Judge Amit Mehta, who described Rhodes as a uniquely powerful threat to democracy on 1\/6. \u201cYou are smart, you are compelling, and you are charismatic. Frankly, that is what makes you dangerous.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Lock him up!<\/p>\n
