The Logan Act requires such a strict set of specifications for prosecution which is why it’s never been enforced.

Which Federal act was it that sitting Sen. 0bama violated when he went to Kenya in 2006 to campaign for Raila Odinga? Is there a statute of limitations on that?

While its fun to watch liberals play pretend patriot, they also fail to acknowledge that millions of us support Tom Cotton and the other signatories.

If we only had a body that is responsible for treaties. Wait. We do. It’s called the Senate.

If they want to talk Logan Act, talk to Obama about his 2008 talks with Tehran via “secret back channel”...

If the petition made no mention of the Logan act it would still have 300,000 signatures from liberals.

The Logan act only applies to US citizens so Obama is immune.

“Right now, close to 300,000 people have signed a White House petition......”

Arrogant, smarmy Democrats taking advantage of the ignorance they have instilled in our society over the past several generations, and the reason they instilled said ignorance all wrapped up in one presentation.

See my tagline about the ignorant that voted to reelect that arrogant pos. I would not be surprised if many of them signed the petition

All the Pubbies did was remind them that without full Congressional due process for a treaty, Obama’s Executive Orders end when his term ends. That doesn’t undermine anything, unless the Rats were hoping the Iranians didn’t understand what they were being offered. I wonder if the Pelosi hag was telling the Iranians that they’d have to sign the agreement to see what was in it, and she’s pissed because those mean Republicans told then that no matter what is in it, it has a limited shelf life. “Drats,” spouts the bitch, “foiled again!”

What a silly argument to have. Conventional wisdom in legal and government circles for decades has been that the Logan Act is almost certainly unconstitutional.

So, have some corrupt Holder prosecutor try to prosecute them. Go ahead, make my day.

I wonder how many of those are real people, or just lists on the hard drive a few dozen Democrat nerd activists

Not a road knowledgeable Dems want to go down. Treason has no statute of limitations.

So, let’s see:

If Cruz takes office in 2017 (which is likely to happen), and a Democrat in Congress goes on a “fact finding” trip to another country without EXPLICIT INSTRUCTIONS from the White House, then that Democrat should be ARRESTED upon his arrival.

If it’s a group of Democrats, then there’s a good chance that we can pass some USEFUL LEGISLATION while those Democrats are wasting away in jail for their ILLEGAL transgressions.

All sounds good to me.

Obama went to Iraq too. He apparently talked to some government officials about the Status of Forces Agreement. He apparently asked the Prime Minister to hold off signing it until after the elections in the U.S.! He said something like: “The Bush Administration was in disarray”, or something like that. I couldn’t believe he would do such an underhanded thing, but he did! Then he and his campaign people tried to deny it, but they all lied, the Prime Minister even said Obama did say that! It was disgusting, and lied about it!

Isn’t the most infamous violater of the Logan Act John F’n Kerry? Even before you get to the fact it was also treason.

A family affair?

Malik Obama (Barack’s bosom buddy half-brother), is Executive Secretary of the Islamic Da’wa Organization (IDO), a Sudanese government-sponsored organization whose mission is to spread Wahhabist Islam across the African continent Wahhabism is the ultra-orthodox, fundamentalist branch of Islam practiced by ISIS, al-Qaeda, Boko Haram, and segments of the Taliban.

Obama’s puppet Lois Lerner backdated the grant of tax exempt status to the Barack H. Obama Foundation (BHOF) by 38 months. Malik Obama formed the foundation with two others in 2008 and never filed an application for tax exemption. (Follow the money.) Only when a watchdog group noticed did Lois Lerner spring into action.

Wally Shoebat has documented the Barack-Malik story.
