The Sedition Act, fortunately for all of us certainly including TJ, was inoperative at the end of WWI, and repealed in 1920. Opinion is it would be considered unconstitutional today.
It is the sort of thing fascists would look back on with longing, though, per TJ's wikipedia link:

It forbade the use of "disloyal, profane, scurrilous, or abusive language" about the United States government, its flag, or its armed forces or that caused others to view the American government or its institutions with contempt.

I hope TJ's right, that nothing but more bad talk from Trump is in the offing.
I hate to have to keep hoping things like that. Seems to indicate something is really wrong.
