    How is it not illegal for her to say these things? Like is that a threat against the United States?

      Depends.

      Protected by the first amendment, one can legally advocate for the dissolution of the Union through bicameral ratification outlined constitutionally. To advocate for armed insurrection or violent overthrow of the federal government is sedition and considered quite illegal.
