"Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States."

"Whoever, when the United States is at war, willfully makes or conveys false reports or false statements with intent to interfere with the operation or success of the military or naval forces of the United States or to promote the success of its enemies . . . Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both."

Listen up, people: treason is a real crime with a real definition and just being a disloyal bastard or a political opportunist isn't it.

Duh. Try reading the above again and get back to us when you can figure out the definition of TRAITOR....

While I don't support a summary execution, the case for treason is a compelling one.

Yeah, read the definition. And then tell me when a Declaration of War was passed.
