Sedition is the incitement of resistance to or insurrection against lawful authority. Columnist Maureen Dowd was right when she asserted that former “liar-in-chief” Donald Trump committed just that on Jan. 6, 2021, by cling- ing to his presidential status, defying — and encouraging his supporters to defy — a peaceful transfer of power (“Our liar-in-chief must reckon with his moment of truth,” Star-Advertiser, July 25).
Trump should be tried and convicted for his election tampering and falsehoods and sent to prison, because in the United States nobody is above the law — not even a former president.
