I won’t be voting in that poll, because “47 Ineffectual Morons” is not a choice,

Treason in the western nations historically involves an assault on the person or the authority of the sovereign.
In England that meant an assault on the person or authority of the king.
In America, it also meant an assault on the sovereign, We The People.
Obamanation has reverted our concept of treason to a pre-constitutional form.
By charging senators with treason for interfering with the authority of Obama, the Left has implicitly raised Obama to the level of sovereign.

No to mention what they did is a million miles away from fitting the definition of treason.

Does the Logan Act prohibit sending informational material by letter to a foreign government? No negotiations were involved so the Logan Act is not appicable.
To: lakecumberlandvet
Make that “applicable” not “appicable”
