This is a horribly misleading headline, first off, on a “when did you stop beating your wife” level. The bill would eliminate all federal death penalties, not just the ones for treason. The reasoning is simple - they’re anti-death penalty.
Why? They’re just planning for the future.
Love of the liberty that made our country. Without liberty the USA is just another socialist crap hole like most of Europe.
As far as I can tell, there are VERY few in DC willing to sacrifice anything for our nation and the principle of liberty. Least of all their lives.
Although they are quite amenable to sacrificing OUR liberty and lives to protect themselves from Democrat blackmail.
Romanian term limits. At all levels. That’s the ticket.
Just protecting their own, as they always do.
They know the Obama Admin is planning a takeover ,but yes this is a very strange bill
Appeasement: From ObamaCare to recess appointments, honoring the Constitution has not been an administration hallmark. But when it comes to betraying secrets to mollify the Russians, it becomes a document the president hides behind.
It was bad enough that the 2012 defense authorization bill signed by President Obama set America on a downward spiral of military mediocrity.
He also issued a signing statement, something he once opposed, saying that language in the bill aimed at protecting top-secret technical data on the U.S. Standard Missile-3 — linchpin of our missile defense — might impinge on his constitutional foreign-policy authority.
Section 1227 of the defense law prohibits spending any funds that would be used to give Russian officials access to sensitive missile-defense technology as part of a cooperation agreement without first sending Congress a report identifying the specific secrets, how they'd be used and steps to protect the data from compromise.
The president is required to certify that any technology shared will not be passed on to third parties such as China, North Korea or Iran, that the Russians will not use transferred secrets to develop countermeasures and that the Russians are reciprocating in sharing missile-defense technology.

IT’s called ‘CYA’ ..
and I don’t mean
California Youth Authority.
Bush and Cheney and Rummy are off the hook.
Obama and his wrecking crew isn’t.
Simple. They are protecting the queer-in-charge from the masses with pitchforks.

so Dems can let her out and fundraise with her?
Because their financial masters told them to do so because they see the gig is almost up for this cycle of nation-looting...
Further to the left, you cannot find.
The logical conclusion, therefore, is this: HR 3741′s real objective is to eliminate the death penalty for TREASON because Democrats think Barack Hussein Obama may be arrested and tried for treason.
Of course he will. His treason is very plain to see.
Agreed.
So what? They can go through the motions and shine the light on all the fabricated deceptions
by the Democrats. That's the point of the motions in the first place. The MSM are determining
the thoughts of people and not doing their actual job. We have a system designed to fix that..
Republicans are culpable in all the crimes for ignoring the laws to stop those crimes.
True enough. We should be bleeding the Nazi bastards with a thousand pin pricks but instead many, including many on these pages say it is a waste of time and effort like the nadless GOPe.
Go ahead, throw up your hands and support doing nothing; gutless behavior has always emboldened and strengthened our National Socialist Democrat Party.
“...gonna do something STUPID...”
Heavens to Mergatroyd, what could they do to top what they’ve already done? NO, don’t answer that.
They don’t have the stones to impeach the first black _resident.
The republicans lead by Boner are cowards. It won’t happen in this congress. Perhaps after the 2014 midterms but not now.
