The legal precedent regarding seditious conspiracy criminalizes ordinary protest behavior, such as agreeing to stand outside to delay Congress or federal agencies.

Well, you know, I mean, basically, it's an attempt to criminalize ordinary behavior, and it waters down the conspiracy requirement to almost meaningless dimensions. If, in fact, agreeing to go to a protest and agreeing to stand outside to try to delay Congress from doing something or a federal agency from doing something or trying to hinder them from doing something, that expression of protest is now considered, under this precedent, sedition.
