  The Democrat Mayor of Denver, Colorado Mike Johnston has challenged Trump

  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.

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

 So charge him with attempted insurrection then?
 Yes? No?
 If no, why not?
