3. Gohmert has been a lunatic for years and yet the people around Tyler, Tx keep electing him

This says more about the people of Texas 1st Congressional District than Gohmert. They are a bunch religious nuts who think Trump is the "second coming". If that doesn't chase you away from religion what would?

Any earlier and he'll just get a pardon. Wait till the 21st, then arrest him and charge him under 18 USC, § 2385, "Advocating overthrow of Government":

Whoever knowingly or willfully advocates, abets, advises, or teaches the duty, necessity, desirability, or propriety of overthrowing or destroying the government of the United States or the government of any State, Territory, District or Possession thereof, or the government of any political subdivision therein, by force or violence, or by the assassination of any officer of any such government[…]Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both, and shall be ineligible for employment by the United States or any department or agency thereof, for the five years next following his conviction.


Twenty years in Leavenworth would satisfy me.

Nothing more will happen to him, than will happen to Drumpf and all his cronies.

Ol' Louie knows he can get away with whatever he feels like.

7. If someone replaced it with "...you gotta go to Gohmert's house and be as violent..." he'd freak!

.

He can make a call to arms and say that people should incite violence, but if it were directed at him, he would call the police and have that person arrested for making threats.

How is his action any different?
