The Federalists, and that's who these people are, tried a very similar thing with the Sedition Act of 1798.
"In one of the first tests of freedom of speech, the House passed the Sedition Act, permitting the deportation, fine, or imprisonment of anyone deemed a threat or publishing “false, scandalous, or malicious writing” against the government of the United States. The 5th Congress (1797–1799), narrowly divided between the majority Federalists and minority Jeffersonian Republicans, voted 44 to 41 in favor of the Senate-passed bill."
I'm still an "Old Republican," and uphold Jeffersonian Republicanism, which is not the Federalism that was hidden within the GOP, and later with the Democrats that came in with the Bourbon Democrats.

@sik3xploit Spot on! They had their CJ of the Supreme Court, John Marshall, to help them when they lost power, and their original party.
When Madison started siding more and more with their ideology during the last two years of his presidency, after losing their party, they joined his faction, where they first tried to call themselves Republicans for one election cycle, which failed, and then the Whig Party, which loved the owl as their symbol, and then the GOP under Lincoln. Carpetbaggers brought that into the southern states and forced it upon the populace, which created the Bourbon Democrats that spawned Wilson. After that, Federalism, which had crawled into bed with Socialism, (called Progressivism), was within both parties, and it has grown from there.
