Interesting stuff. Apparently during WW One Montana had one of the most draconian sedition laws in the US. The governor has issued posthumous pardons for folks convicted and imprisoned under that law.

Seventy-nine Montanans were convicted under the state law, considered among the harshest in the country, for speaking out in ways deemed critical of the United States. In one instance, a traveling wine and brandy salesman was sentenced to 7 to 20 years in prison for calling wartime food regulations a "big joke."

The sedition law, which made it a crime to say or publish anything "disloyal, profane, violent, scurrilous, contemptuous or abusive" about the government, soldiers or the American flag, was unanimously passed by the Legislature in February 1918. It expired when the war ended, Mr. Work said.

Hey, I'm only being half-facetious here y'all. Congress passes a bill: There shall be no Sedition Laws anywhere...Beloved Leader attaches a "signing statement" that reads "Like Hell" and off we go, forward into the past!
