“The Founders . . . provided for it.
. . . fanatical adherence to the principles of our Constitution is not treason. Support of those in government who subvert and destroy our Constitutional principles would be treason. Fighting for the Constitution would be patriotism, so you have your analysis exactly backwards. The military oath of loyalty is to the Constitution, NOT to the party in power and NOT to any politician. Fighting against those who subvert and destroy the Constitution in the US would be fulfillment of the oath, not a violation of it.”
Well said.
The Founders’ provision you referenced is the Declaration of Independence.
Many are unaware and others choose to ignore that it ‘is’ codified law in the USA.
