However, many of the sentences handed down so far have been for minor misdemeanors such as "unlawfully parading." Critics argue the event is being overblown for political purposes compared to other historical unrest.

The discussion notes that "misdemeanor" is a broad term that could encompass "unpresidential" behavior. For a conviction to occur, the Senate must act as judge and jury, requiring a two-thirds majority that currently seems unlikely without a significant shift in Republican sentiment.

The legislation criminalizes using profane language with the intent to "annoy or offend," which the hosts argue could make most internet commentary illegal in the state. The bill classifies certain digital stalking as a Class 1 misdemeanor or a felony.
