I would support a Treason charge if it can made to stick.

This is the correct thing to do according to the constitution.

However Obama is not going to do this.

When was the last treason trial in America?

[Jim Robinson]

Obama is a traitor himself! Eff him.

“When was the last treason trial in America?”

I don’t know, but the NEXT one should be for obama!

Liberals have made the charge of treason more difficult over the decades; otherwise, 90% of the entire Democrat Party would be convicted.

Don't recall. But I have a few ideas of when the next one might be scheduled.

Treason seems to fit the bill.

As far as I’m concerned, John Walker Lindh should have never polluted American soil again. Unfortunately we’ve let our most necessary laws fall into disrepair.

"This is the correct thing to do according to the constitution."

This an interesting issue for several reasons. Treason is the only term defined in the Constitution. Natural born citizens were specified for the presidency, but as with every other term in the Constitution, so commonly understood as to assume the common-law definition cited by John Marshall, John Jay, George Washington, Alexander Hamilton, Thomas Paine, and many others. But “treason” is special because we are the first government based upon laws and not men.

Article III section 3:

Treason against the United States shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.

Obama has been funding and supplying arms to President Morsi, who, as part of the Muslim Brotherhood, has declared the United States to be an enemy and has sworn to “kill the non-believers.” Sixteen F16s and two hundred Abrams tanks to Egypt and freighters of small arms to Muslim Brotherhood/al-Qaeda in Syria from our transshipment station in Benghazi Libya (There was never an embassy or consulate in Benqhazi) is certainly giving "Aid and Comfort" to our enemies, unless we continue to pretend that Muslims who have sworn to convert or kill us all don't really mean what Allah ordainedd as their path to eternal happiness.

Sending the Saudi Family member, active in the Muslim Brotherhood and al-Qaeda, who just happened to be near the Boston Marathon finish line to see the handiwork of his Chechnya brothers, likely complicit in attacking our nation, out of reach of our justice system should also qualify as Treason.

When was the last treason trial in America?

There hasn't been a treason trial in several decades. Some of the notable convicted traitors of the twentieth century include:

• Robert Best hosted the "Best Berlin Broadcast" (BBB) over Germany's Reichs-Rundfunk Gesellschaft (State Radio Company) during WWII. His broadcasts included rambling commentaries against Jews. During elections, he urged voters to write in his name for all offices or to mutilate their ballots and write "BBB" on them to protest against the "Jew-controlled elections." Best was convicted of treason in 1948 and died in prison

• Mildred Gillars hosted the English-language broadcast "Midge at the Mike" over the Reichs-Rundfunk Gesellschaft during WWII, was convicted of treason in 1949.

• Iva Toguri, another radio personality who broadcast under the name "Orphan Ann," was a disc jockey and commentator on "The Zero Hour," an English-language program on Radio Tokyo that was beamed at Allied forces in the Pacific Theater during WWII. She was convicted of treason in 1949 and served a prison term.

  Kawakita Tomoya, a Japanese American who fought for the Japanese in WWII, was sentenced to death for treason in 1952. After serving a prison term that included time in Alcatraz, he was pardoned and deported to Japan.
