From the article: "It is unlikely the Department would ever pursue action against anyone using the Logan Act, given no one has been convicted of violating the 1799 law"

From this interview in the Atlantic, looks like the guy being interviewed thinks it's probably not constitutional as written. Basically it could run afoul the first amendment and they'd have to write a more specific law to enforce it.
