It's not surprising at all that the same morons who ignore the fourth amendment also ignore the constitutional definition of treason.

I guess the Founders were also guilty of treason then. If a government gets out of control, it is the DUTY of the People to resist it. Like the guy or hate him - he points out a government that oversteps.

The saddest part is that so many usually smart people have gone full stupid on this issue.

Michelle Malkin was just jabbering about how the NSA is protecting us from terrorism. She knows its crap because we have a wide open border and a pro muslim immigration policies.

Oh, the founding fathers of USA were most definitely guilty of treason against their lawful government, each and every one of them liable to hang had they failed. The Only reason they got away with it was that they succeeded, thus fulfilling the old epigram:

Treason doth never prosper: what's the reason?
Why if it prosper, none dare call it treason.
--Sir John Harington, Of Treason--Epigrams (bk. IV, ep. V)

Indeed. Whether Snowden is a hero or a traitor has no bearing on the (il)legitimacy of the NSA program he revealed.
