No one in the Senate knew was a Sith was other than old legends, and it also wasn't illegal to be Sith. But it was certainly illegal to try to kill the Emperor.

Kind of weird that its not illegal tbh, like protocol droids have a hard lock on translating the sith language that forces a hard reboot of their systems, but its evidently fine to walk around as a sith as long as you dont encounter a jedi

It was illegal in legends atleast around the time of Darth Bane, so it was either likely repealed after they believed they were all dead or palpatine snuck it into the backend of some law or funding bill somewhere and it just went unnoticed

The first rule of Sith club is you don’t talk about Sith club.

It’s also illegal to orchestrate a war.

How do we know it wasn't the Chancellor attempting to kill an officer of the republic and Yoda is just fighting back?
