If two or more persons in any State or Territory, or in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspire to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States, or to levy war against them, or to oppose by force the authority thereof, or by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States, or by force to seize, take, or possess any property of the United States contrary to the authority thereof, they shall each be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both.
Why is this important?
US Code 2384 addresses acts which are against the law, specifically "or by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States," The refusal by Congress to support, and vote on the funding of the Government and specifically the refusal to raise the debt limit fits into this category. As citizens we ask the Attorney General to address why this aspect of the code is not being applied to the parties who are committing this act.
