 Look at this chucklehead. He's willing to use violent force against

 The Democrat Mayor of Denver, Colorado Mike Johnston has challenged Trump
 to try to deport any illegal migrants from his city, saying he would deploy
 the Denver City Police and volunteers from the local community to use force
 against federal forces trying to deport illegals.
 
 "More than us having DPD stationed at the county line to keep them out, you
 would have 50,000 Denverites there. It's like the Tiananmen Square moment
 with the rose and the gun... You'd have every one of those Highland moms
 who came out for the migrants. You don't want to mess with them."

 
 Has Denver lawfully seceded from the United States? I feel like I would
 have heard about it if it had happened but maybe I missed it....
 
 If Denver remains part of America, I'm pretty sure he has to obey the
 law. I don't recall any exceptions for mayors of largish cities in the
 Constitution. What's it called if you declare in advance that you will
 not obey a law and in fact threaten to use force on a substantial scale
 to avoid obeying it? That's sedition isn't it? Or does it qualify as
 treason? Either way, the mayor seems to be talking himself into a jail
 cell. Or maybe even a civil war if he actually persuades Denverites to
 do what he's threatening and open fire on ICE employees.

 
 Yeah, the whole thing seems a little insurrectiony to me. And this would be
 an actual insurrection with the guy at the top actually responsible for
 greenlighting it.
 

 
 Think the Dems will demand hearings on the new insurrection?

 
 When it happens?  Sure.

 
 The Denver mayor is engaging in one.
 Better get to it.

 
Again, he backed off ...and well before any actors were mobilized.

So charge him with attempted insurrection then?

Yes? No?

If no, why not?
